Bello Matawalle, Zamfara State Governor, has said bandit attacks in his state has turned into a lucrative venture owing to the influence of politicians.

The Governor gave this assertion after he met President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Monday, to brief him on the security situation in his state.

He debunked reports that over 200 persons were killed in the recent attacks in Bukuyyum and Anka area of the state, saying just 58 persons fell victims. Commenting on possible solutions to the insecurity in Zamfara, he said: “Well, you know when I assumed duty as a governor I used so many options to bring this insecurity to a minimal level. First of all, I initiated dialogue and reconciliation between the herders and farmers and during that dialogue, we spent more than nine months without any crisis in Zamfara State. It worked.

“So, after I realized that some of them had backed out of this dialogue, then I cut off the programme. I then initiated the cutting off communications, and some logistics that used to go to the bandits from August 2011 to December 2011. And it worked too.
