The Zamfara state Governor Bello Mohammed (Matawallen Maradun) has pledged to flush out all unrepentant criminal elements terrorizing the state.
According to Director General Media, Public Enlightenment and Communications Yusuf Idris to the Governor in a statement issued to Newsmen in Gusau Wednesday, the governor’s resolve is part of the fallout of the North-west collaborative security meeting he attended alongside his colleagues from North-western in Kaduna.
He said, the meeting reviewed all that has been done and the next steps to be taken by the Governors of the region together with security chiefs in order to protect the lives and the properties of the people of the region.
He said meeting lauded the efforts of all the State governors in addressing the issues of banditry, kidnapping and cattle rustling that bedeviled the region over a long period of time.
” Governor Matawalle vowed to flush all the remaining criminal elements in Zamfara state and its environ as his administration will not accept any breach of the peace being enjoyed”. Yusuf said.
He called on those who are yet to embrace the peace process to do so, as his government will soon take full military action against them.
Matawalle also commended the Security agencies for their support and cooperation in the fight against banditry, kidnapping and cattle rustling in Zamfara state and its neighbouring states, urging them to intensify efforts to rid the region from the menace.
