Governor Bello Mohammed (Matawallen Maradun, Shattiman Sakkwato) has expressed his heart felt sympathy to the families of victims earlier caught in military fire against marauding bandits in Maru Local Government area of the state.
The Governor was saddened to hear the latest development when the Nigeria Airforce was out to eliminate a marauding group of bandits which, unfortunately, caught a number of civilians leaving behind a mixture of casualties involving both the bandits and a number of civilians.
“This unfortunate incident has come at a time when both the state Government and the Nigeria Military are poised to effectively end the menace of the bandits, especially by taking the fight to their enclaves”, Governor Matawalle noted.
“I wish to, on behalf of myself, my family, the state Government and the entire good people of Zamfara state, extend my sincere sympathy to those who were injured and the families of those who died as a result of this collateral damage,” the Governor added.
Already, the state Government has swung into action to address the remote and immediate causes of the incident with aim of averting any further ugly incidence such as this one in the future.
The Bello Matawalle administration has been under pressure lately with the resurgence of Banditry in the State leading to the death of no fewer than Ten soldiers and sixty eight locals by armed Bandits in Zamfara.
They were killed Sunday night in Mutunji village of Dansadau emirate, in Maru Local Government area of the state.
The soldiers who were keeping peace in the area were ambushed by the attackers while on their way to repel an attack on Mutunji village.
A Source told TVC News that some of the soldiers and locals sustained gunshot wounds while others were matched by the attackers.
Two Mobile Policemen were also killed on Tuesday by bandits in the State.
