Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State on Thursday in Abuja updated President Muhammadu Buhari on security development in the state. Yari had on December 27 called on President Buhari to declare a state of emergency in Zamfara to check the persistent killing of innocent citizens by bandits across the state. “You are aware of what is happening in Zamfara state and some parts of our neighbouring states on the issues of banditry, abduction and general insurgency. “As a state, we are doing all our best to ensure that normalcy return and we have started getting results. The governor also dismissed the assertion that elections might not hold in Zamfara because of the ongoing fight against bandits in the state.
