This is Zamfara, where gold is mined illegally into private pockets, and nothing comes to the State and Federal governments' accounts from the trillions they generate yearly from it.
Check out what Northern Nigeria does with their natural resources and revenue while fighting Southerners over Tax Reform because they don't want to share this, but continue keeping their revenues in their private pockets, while sharing revenues from the South with Southerners.
This is the criminal enterprise that causes all the bandit killings in that area, whenever gold deposits are discovered in a place or settlement, the barons sponsor bandit attacks to kill and wipe out the villagers, then force the remnant survivors to abandon the location for illegal mining activities. God help and deliver us in this country. O ga o 🤔😲😧😣😨
