The statement reads: “Zamfara state government is deeply concerned over the recent attacks in communities across the state, particularly in Zurmi, Maru, and Tsafe local government areas.
“We extend our deepest sympathies to all the people of the Zurmi local government area, especially families and relatives of those who lost their loved ones.
“The state government will provide assistance and emergency relief materials to the affected people. We want to assure the people of Zamfara that we are fully committed to ensuring their safety.
“We are aware of the sacrifice of the security forces to protect the people’s lives. The state government will provide them with all the necessary logistics and support to fight against banditry. We will not rest until Zamfara is completely secured.”
