He further directed that there should be no selling of fuel even in jerry cans.
TVC News reported that Matawalle said the move becomes necessary considering the resurgence of banditry and kidnapping in the state.
He also directed security operatives to shoot at any motorcycle carrying more than two persons if refused to stop for arrest.
A recent development report reaching us from Daily Post has uncovered how not less than 100 special forces have been deployed to Zamfara state by the Federal government to combat insecurity and insurgency which has been taking its toll in the state.
Further report disclosed how the General Officer Commanding the 8 Division Nigerian Army, Sokoto, and the Commander Joint Task Force Operation Hadarin Daji, General Bassey was also deployed to lead the troops in their quest to curb insecurity and subdue the activities of bandits in the state. Governor Matawalle however urged security agencies in Zamfara state to cooperate with the troops in order to ensure an effective working strategy that will put an end to the issue of banditry in the state
Consequently, amid this development, it may interest us to recall the governor’s tangible reason for defecting to the ruling party some months ago after the major opposition party where he defected from (PDP) vowed to sue him for dumping the party that helped him achieve his present political status.
If we all could vividly recall what the governor said about his decision to join the ruling party, perhaps we could remember when he said that his reason for defecting to the APC was to draw the attention of the federal government towards the insecurity challenges in his state which is about to consume the innocent indigenes of Zamfara state.
This is surely a great movement to tackle insurgency in the state
