Nasarawa Communities fight Bandits when attacked – Governor Sule

Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has revealed that bandits in the state are being fought by communities in the state.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday night, he noted that grazing reserves in the north have become a hideout for bandits, but added that if such areas are put to good use, persons with criminal intentions will have nowhere to hide

“In Nasarawa, what we do is that the moment we see the bandits coming in, we alert our people. These people are coming to your side and the information is there. The communities rise up to the occasion and also the communities fight them,” he said.

Governor Sule also blamed the banditry activities in Zamfara State on illegal mining being carried out in the state.

He added that those stoking problems in the North-west were interested in illegal mining.
