Friday, October 11, 2024 - The Zamfara State Government has threatened to demolish communities harbouring bandits.
The Deputy Governor of the State, Malam Mani Mummuni, disclosed this
when he visited Tsafe Emirate to console the community over the killing of nine
members of the Zamfara State local security outfit, Community Protection
Guards, CPG by bandits.
The bandits ambushed the security operatives along the Tsafe-Funtua
road, killing nine of them.
Mummuni specifically accused residents of the Maikwanugga
community of harbouring bandits by providing shelter and foodstuffs.
According to him, the village allowed the bandits to spend the night
before launching the deadly attack on the CPG operatives who were deployed to
protect travellers.
"The village is just less than half a kilometre from the main road,
but they decided to be used by bandits against our security operatives, who are
working to secure the lives and properties of innocent people,” he said.
Mummuni noted that the government would not tolerate the actions of
betrayers working against the State’s efforts and those of security agencies in
curbing insecurity.
