Seven notorious bandits have repented and surrendered their weapons to the Zamfara State Government on Friday.

The repentant bandits also took an oath to stop banditry and embrace the peace accord instituted by State Governor Bello Matawalle to end banditry in the state.

They were received at the Government House in Gusau, the state capital, in the presence of some traditional rulers and Islamic clerics who took turns to counsel them as their weapons were handed over to the State Police Command.

They surrendered 14 weapons including AK 47 rifles.

The bandits who swore by the Holy Qur’an expressed their willingness to stop banditry and embrace peace for the rest of their lives.

The State Commissioner for Security and Home Affairs, Abubakar Dauran who presented the bandits to Governor Matawalle said they willingly took the decision to accept the peace offered by the Governor and will accept to be re-integrated into the society.

The governor accepted their resolve as they took the oath with the Holy Quran not to either go back to their past ways or become informants for their former colleagues
