Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari, says he supports the call on President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency in the state. He said, “I am also in support of the declaration of state of emergency if it will save the lives of people of the state”. Speaking further, Yari warned politicians against politicising the security situation in the state. The suspected bandits attacked Birnin Magaji community in Tsafe Local Government Area and Magami community in Faru District of Maradun Local Government Area of the state on Saturday evening. Beyond that, as a way of providing better security to the area, Shehu noted that the Nigeria Police Force has deployed Special Forces in each of the local government in Zamfara State.
