The Zamfara State Government has said its dialogue and peace deal with bandits in the area has recorded tremendous success.
According to the state, in the two years of Governor Matawalle’s administration, over sixty-two bandits repented and embraced the peace initiative.
This disclosure was made by the state’s Commissioner of Information, Alhaji Ibrahim Dosara on Thursday, during a press conference.
According to him, the peace deal has also led to the release of over 2000 kidnapped victims through the help of the repentant bandits.
The Commissioner also recalled that Governor Matawalle’s administration inherited the terrifying security challenges from the previous leadership of Governor Abdul-Aziz Yari, noting that the governor will not fold hands to watch his people being killed.
