The Governor, noting the security situation in the state has improved, said the bandits responsible for the insecurity, breed their cattle in the forest and strike occasionally.

While stating that he met the President over the security situation in the state, Yari said the issue of the armed banditry was being exaggerated.

“There is no place being occupied by the armed bandits in Zamfara state. They live and operate in the forest. They strike and run. Most of the camps are known by locals,” he said.
