“This incident happened in Kwashabawa, Zurmi Local Government Area of Zamfara State. This is not acceptable as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has been giving great support to the Armed Forces of Nigeria.

“The Federal Government is deeply concerned about the persistent threat posed by banditry and terrorism in the North-west particularly. We are ready to deploy all necessary assets to ensure that these criminal elements are flushed out and peace is restored to our communities,” Matawalle stated.

 

The statement further read: “We must move against these terrorists to enable our people to move freely. The time is up for these bandits and terrorists as increased and consistent operations will weaken all their bases.”

 

Matawalle called on the Armed Forces of Nigeria to flush out the bandits and terrorists as his presence in the North -west will ginger the forces.

 

He further assured the people of Sokoto, Katsina, Zamfara, and Kebbi states and the entire region that the security forces will not leave any stone unturned until they flush out the bandits.

 

“I will be on the ground in the North-west with the CDS and other military chiefs, leading our brave men and women in uniform.”

 

He called on the people of Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and Kebbi states to remain vigilant and cooperate with the security forces while reiterating the Federal Government’s resolve to protect the lives and properties of all Nigerians, emphasizing that the security and well-being of the people remain the government’s top priority.
