President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered for an immediate response to rising cases of bandit attacks on communities in Zamfara State, ordering that there must be a pathway to end banditry and insurgency.
Disclosing this on Thursday, a statement issued by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity) said in a directive to the National Security Adviser, Major-General Babagana Monguno (Rtd), “the President ordered that there must be a clear pathway to ending the resurgent banditry that has continued to cost lives and the displacement of thousands of families from their towns and villages.”
The statement recalled that recently, the Speaker of the Zamfara State House of Assembly, Hon. Nasir Magarya, wrote a letter in which he appealed to President Buhari to intervene and stop the incessant killings by bandits in the state.
