Dauda Lawal, governor of Zamfara, says his administration will not negotiate with or yield to criminals in the state.
In a statement on Thursday, Sulaiman Bala Idris, the governor’s spokesperson, said Dauda reiterated the administration’s policy during a condolence visit to Bungudu LGA following a recent bandit attack.
Lawal first visited the palace of Hassan Attahiru, emir of Bungudu, where he outlined the state government’s efforts to maintain security and restore peace across Zamfara.
“I am here to express my sympathy and offer condolences to the families, the Emir, and the people of Bungudu following last week’s bandit attacks,” Lawal said.
“This is a test from Almighty Allah, and we will overcome it. The state government is dedicating resources and efforts to end the threat of banditry.
“I encourage everyone to remain patient, as this sensitive issue requires both perseverance and steadfast prayers.
