The Zamfara State Government has again closed more markets, especially those along the major roads for security reasons, saying it is inching closer to paralyzing the bandits’ nefarious activities.

The state Commissioner of Information, Culture and Tourism, Hon. Ibrahim Magaji Dosara, said the government would continue to put in place stiffer security measures for restoration of peace and harmony in the state.

“Enough of all these merciless killings and kidnappings in the state. The government cannot fold its hands and watch the bandits killing and kidnapping innocent citizens. Enough is enough,” he lamented.

Hon. Dosara further said that the state government has discovered that the bandits live in the forests, from where they attack communities depending on some lawless community members, whom they pay to give them information on how to carry out their dastard acts.

The commissioner explained that when the informants sighted some business people who came for their legitimate endeavours, they would quickly alert the bandits, describing their dressing and giving more information, pointing out that the bandits would quickly storm the markets and unleash terror attacks.

He vowed that the markets would not be reopened until peace is finally restored in the state, saying that the government would ensure that the bandits are brought to justice.

At the garage Mailena market near Gusau dam, it was discovered that all the marketers have deserted the market and many armed mobile policemen and soldiers have taken over the whole area controlling the traffic.
