I Will No Longer Grant Amnesty To Bandits – Matawalle

Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara, has vowed not to hold dialogue with bandits anymore.

Matawalle said he would no longer grant the terorrists amnesty, noting that they had spurned the olive branch once extended to them.

The governor while speaking in Gusau, said that instead, security forces would flush them out of the state.

“My administration will no longer grant amnesty to bandits as they have failed to embrace the peace initiative earlier extended to them,’’
