Zamfara Police Command Reacts to Alleged Attacks on
Atiku Supporters
The attention of Zamfara State Police Command has been drawn to
the above captioned story published by one of the national dailies
of Saturday 13th July, 2019, in which some witnesses who were
traveling to Abuja from Zamfara claimed to have been attacked by
bandits, a situation that forced them to scampered into the
bush.
It is pertinent to categorically state that as per the crime
statistics of Zamfara state is concern, there was no any attack by
bandits either on villages or on any person or group of persons
traveling on any highway in the state.
Since the inception of the ongoing peace and dialogue initiative in
the the state, attacks, kidnapping and other heinous crime in the
state have been reduced drastically to about 98 percent. A
situation that restored peace and stability in the state.
The rescue of over 100 persons who were kidnapped and held in
captivity for months by the Commissioner of police CP Usman Nagogo
psc+, is another indication that the ongoing peace process of the
command is working assiduously.
Therefore, the command wishes to refute the entire story as
misleading and a calculated attempt to undermine the current effort
of both the state government and the police to bring lasting peace
for social and economic development in the state. The command uses
this medium to appeal to media organizations to verify their
information before publication.
