“I am pledging that the police command under my watch would provide adequate security and other logistics to clerics who may want to go to the villages to preach peace” he assured.
However, the Zamfara State Commissioner for Security and Home Affairs, Hon. Abubakar Muhammad Dauran charged security agencies to commence onslaught to recalcitrant bandits as they refused to key into the peace and reconciliation initiative of the State Government.
