The former governor of Zamfara State revealed that the Federal Government has finalized plans to deploy additional troops and advanced military equipment to the troubled North-West region.
Expressing concern over the role of informants in aiding banditry, Matawalle said, “The Federal Government and military chiefs are very much disturbed over the issue of informants aiding the bandits. That is the major challenge for not winning the war against bandits.”
