He warned that government would not hesitate to remove any traditional ruler from his throne “No matter how highly placed in the society, once such persons are confirmed to be associating with the criminals.”

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Zamfara is presently facing security challenges of banditry, armed robbery, kidnapping, killings and cattle rustling especially in the rural areas.

NAN also reports that the commissioner at the briefing displayed four guns seized from bandits in Maru and Bukkuyum Local Government Areas.

Four persons who assisted in recovery of the guns from the bandits were equally rewarded with N4 million.
