Gov. Bello Matawalle of Zamfara has charged journalists covering the fight against banditry to report successes recorded by the security agencies to encourage them to consolidate on such feats.
Matawalle said that positive attitude would boost the confidence of security operatives.
“The positive reports will also add a measure of hope to the troubled communities in the state,” he added.
The governor commended the efforts of security agencies in the fight against banditry and assuring the people that he would not relent until lasting peace was achieved.
He said President Muhammadu Buhari’s efforts to tackle the violence was very encouraging and the deployment of more security personnel to Zamfara would strengthen the efforts to rid the state of bandits.
