Speaking on Saturday, the Deputy Chief of Staff, Zamfara, Government House, Dr Bashir Muhammad Maru has said that the State’s Government is awaiting military action on the arrest of an army officer and his girlfriend.
The duo were arrested on 2 March, 2021 for allegedly supplying weapons and military uniforms to bandits in the state.
“Another issue of topical importance is the recent arrest of an Army officer and his girlfriend engaged in assisting bandits with military uniforms and ammunition in active connivance with other saboteurs.
“While the state government awaits the action the military will take on this matter and make an official statement, the development has further proved the position of Governor Bello Matawalle that unless the fight against banditry is cleansed of bad eggs and saboteurs, we may not record the desired success in the fight”. he said.
Although a statement has not been issued by the Defence Headquarters of the state, a promise has been made by the office to release one unfailingly.
