Governor of Zamfara state, Bello Matawalle has ordered the police and other security agencies in the state to implement President Muhammadu Buhari’s shoot-on-sight order against those bearing illegal arms.
President Muhammadu Buhari gave the Shoot-on-Sight Order in March — at a time criminal activity in the state was at its peak.

In a series of tweets on Wednesday, Matawalle re-echoed the order as he said only personnel of law enforcement agencies should bear arms.
“The Zamfara State Police and other government security agencies are to effectively implement the Presidential order to shoot on sight at bandits, persons or group of people seen with Ak-47 or any weapons,” the governor said.
“Only those approved by law or the security agencies are to carry guns and other sophisticated weapons, anyone found in unlawful possession of guns should be shot on the spot.
“Our administration will always support the police and other security agencies with all the necessary logistics so as to discharge their duties effectively.” Matawalle Twitted.
