Governor Bello Matawalle has received weapons and ammunition surrendered by three repentant bandits in Zamfata state.
The three bandits, said to be notorious, were led by Mohammed Sani, the son of another notorious bandit, Buharin Daji, believed to have been killed by security operatives a few years ago.
Zamfara is one of the few states in the Northern region which has chosen to negotiate with bandits as a way of restoring peace.
Sheikh Gumi: The Coalition of Northern Groups said it fully supports the popular cleric’s call for the need to grant amnesty to bandits.
Bala Mohammed: The Bauchi State Governor tendered an apology for rationalising why Fulani herdsmen carry illegal weapons. But he insisted he had spoken the truth. “I have no apology for saying the truth,” he said. “But certainly sometimes you will say the truth and it will be injurious.”
