Zamfara state governor Bello Mohammed has announced that the state government has confidential information that assures him that some politicians are trying to incite violence among the people of the state.
The governor also said that the politicians, whom he called patriotism, are acting underground to achieve their political ends.
He accused them of collaborating with other members of the Boko Haram sect that had been driven out of the North-East for attacks on people they did not know climbing, not landing.
And he said their reason for taking action was to disrupt the peace that exists in the state and undermine the government's reconciliation program.
But the governor did not disclose the names of the politicians he accused of organizing the massacre, and so far the BBC has no way to confirm the authenticity of the announcement.
A statement issued by the governor, Yusuf Idris Gusau, who is his special assistant on media, said the attacks were planned in the state.
The statement said there were plans for attacks in seven counties in Zamfara State, following several key locations in Gusau.
In the plan, which the governor said were uncovered, there was a plot to assassinate some prominent and prominent Native people in the state.

There is Gusau, the state capital, Tsafe, Tuesday Mafara and Anka.
Other counties you mentioned include Zurmi, Maru and Maradun, and the announcement said they were planning attacks on the Gusau mosque and the Mammy Market.
The statement said Boko Haram was planned to carry out these attacks from September 23 to September 25, 2019.
