A statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Idris, said during the meeting, Governor Lawal expressed concern over the resurgence of attacks in some parts of the state.“Today, I am here to discuss the issue of insecurity that has been affecting Zamfara State. I was here a few months ago for the same reason,” the governor said.“Yesterday, an attack occurred in Tsafe LGA, resulting in fatalities, including a member of our Community Protection Guards .

“The deployment of security forces will undoubtedly uplift the people’s spirits and discourage criminals from engaging in their nefarious deeds.”He said: “I want to express my appreciation for your efforts in combating insecurity. We plan to adjust and reposition resources using the same approach as Maiduguri.

“We are convening a conference with all theatre commanders and stakeholders to address the issue of attacks, which deeply saddens us.”
