My Administration Would Not Abandon Peace Dialogue With Bandits – Gov. Matawalle

Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, has secured the release of 26 girls abducted by bandits.

Special adviser to the Governor on Public Enlightenment, Media, And Communications, Zailani Bappa, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.

Governor Matawalle who received the rescued girls following their release insisted that dialogue with bandits was still very relevant in the fight against banditry.

He stressed that his administration would not abandon the peace dialogue with bandits as firepower alone cannot solve the problem of banditry in Zamfara and other states facing similar challenges.
