FG Deploys More Troops to Zamfara to Combat Banditry
The Nigerian government has deployed more troops to Zamfara State to intensify the fight against banditry. This decision was announced by the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, during a progress meeting with APC stakeholders in Gusau.
The troops have been directed to take decisive action against armed groups across the state. The move comes amidst efforts by the federal and Zamfara state governments to collaborate on security issues.
Concerns were also raised about the construction of the Funtua-Gusau-Talata Mafara-Sokoto road, with claims of attempts to take political credit. Residents are urged to scrutinize how funds are spent.
The reinforcement of security operations against bandit groups is expected to continue daily.
