Suspended Zamfara lawmakers allege threat to life, flee state

Eight members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly who were suspended from the House, on Sunday, claimed that they have been hounded out of the state by political thugs for exposing the increasing wave of insecurity in the state.

According to the lawmakers, some security agents had been sent to hunt for them without any reason, a situation which made them go into hiding.

Bashir Aliyu, who spoke on behalf of the suspended lawmakers at a press conference in Zaria, Kaduna State, on Sunday, said they would not be silenced until action is taken to tame the high level of insecurity in Zamfara.
