Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, has reaffirmed his administration’s firm stance against negotiating with bandits, vowing never to engage with those terrorizing the state.
Speaking on Thursday during visits to communities recently attacked by bandits, Lawal expressed condolences and reiterated his commitment to restoring security and rebuilding affected areas.
According to his spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, the governor visited Kagara, Dan Isa, and Kasuwar Daji in Kauran Namoda Local Government Area to show solidarity with victims and assess the situation firsthand.
Addressing residents, Lawal stated, “Yesterday, I began a condolence tour to communities targeted by bandits, and today, we continue to stand with you to ensure security and recovery.”
“Since we couldn’t conclude the visit, we resumed today and reached three more communities. I met with residents and conveyed the government’s support and encouragement.
“Security remains the top priority of my administration. We are deploying every resource to protect lives and property across Zamfara.
“From the onset of my tenure, I made it clear: we will not negotiate with bandits. That position remains unchanged and will not change. These criminals have consistently shown no sincerity or remorse.
“I also observed the poor condition of roads leading to these communities. My administration will prioritize their rehabilitation to improve access and support local development,” the Governor said.
The statement noted further that Governor Lawal’s visits underscore his administration’s resolve to confront insecurity head-on, while also addressing infrastructural challenges that compound the vulnerability of rural communities.
