Thirty five bandits have been arrested in Zamfara State among whom are civil servants.
State Commissioner for Information, Ibrahim Magaji Dosara in a statement said, “It was surprising to note that, all the 35 suspects were arrested in Gusau, the state capital and some of them civil servants.
“The State Government therefore expressed delight over the arrest of the 35 bandits terrorising people within the Gusau metropolis.
“Government therefore seriously warn bandits to renounce the criminality and embrace the state government dialogue and peace initiative to become good citizens, stressing the government intention to take punitive measures against criminals, as a matter of urgency.
“The state government also strongly warn traditional rulers to keep vigil eyes to landlords who give out their houses to people with suspicious character within their domains, as government will soon start to arrest any landlord found giving out his or her property on rent to bandits, kidnappers, informants and dealers of weapons for the bandits.
“Government will not hesitate to demolish any house given out on rent to criminals.”
