According to Zamfara State Government, some civil servants have been arrested for banditry in the state. The North-West state is one of the regions worst affected by banditry in the country.
A statment signed by the State Commissioner for Information, Ibrahim Magaji Dosara on Wednesday, said the civil servants were among 35 suspects apprehended in Gusau, the state capital. “The State Government therefore expressed delight over the arrest of the 35 bandits terrorising people within the Gusau metropolis.”
The criminals “have since been interrogated and have confessed to their various crimes and have already been transferred to Abuja for further action before prosecution. Government therefore seriously warn bandits to renounce the criminality and embrace the state government dialogue and peace initiative to become good citizens, stressing the government intention to take punitive measures against criminals, as a matter of urgency,” the statement said.
