The Zamfara state Governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle has expressed his heartfelt sympathy to the families of victims earlier caught in military fire against marauding bandits in Maru Local Government area of the state.
The Governor was saddened to hear the latest development when the Nigeria Air force was out to eliminate a marauding group of bandits which, unfortunately, caught a number of civilians leaving behind a mixture of casualties involving both the bandits and a number of civilians.
He noted that this unfortunate incident has come at a time when both the state Government and the Nigeria Military are poised to effectively end the menace of the bandits, especially by taking the fight to their enclaves.
“I wish to, on behalf of myself, my family, the state Government and the entire good people of Zamfara state, extend my sincere sympathy to those who were injured and the families of those who died as a result of this collateral damage,” matawalle added.
According to the governor, the state Government has swung into action to address the remote and immediate causes of the incident with the aim of averting any further ugly incident such as this one in the future.
