Governor Matawalle Bello has explained why the government decided to shut down all telecommunications networks in the state to check banditry.

Speaking to DW Hausa Service on Monday September 6, Matawalle said the security forces in collaboration with local vigilantes were taking the fight into the bandits’ enclaves as directed by army chief, Yahaya Farouk.

He also revealed that shutting down of telcoms networks and closing of local markets have started making impact.

He said;

“The bandits are releasing their captives, they are abandoning their motorcycles after running out of fuel. Many of the bandits have been killed by the security forces and the security personnel will sustain the offensive against them until we wipe them out from Zamfara."

You have no solid reasons to shut down telecommunication in Zamfara, that's pure evil..

seborrhic:
Story.
They just don't want the state residents to continue reading and watching how the state has been over-run by Islamic terrorists and bandits.
This is more like trying to boost moral by daily releasing imaginary figures of deaths and surrender of bandits on NTA and government propaganda radio stations while the reality is different.
Same social media they all used in getting to power and spreading lies is now a big threat to them.
Karma!

Dozie32:


Have you forgotten that we still have terrorist here?

greatiyk4u:



This is sign that you are not versed in security matters, so better leave matter for Mathias, anybody condemning this approach is either naive, ignorant or just wailing to destroy Nigeria and nothing else.

Without network, you tell me how they contact their victim relatives for ransom, besides their locations are know and the security agents have special gadgets for communications...

Make I stop here.

Everything you posted is illogical, yet you accused someone else of showing ignorance on a public forum when you are the one disgracing yourself with your incoherent analysis

We need a strong man like Obasanjo in Aso rock come 2023. A President that can handle these bandits with iron hand and not their patrons.
