 The Nigerian government has distanced itself from the accusation of negotiating with bandits in Zamfara

The Nigerian government has denied allegations that it is making peace with bandits in Zamfara state in the northwest of Nigeria, saying that political differences or differences between some people should not come into security matters.

Indirectly, the federal government of Nigeria is talking about the conflict between the former government of Zamfara state, Bello Matawalle, and the new government of governor Dauda Lawal Dare, whose strategies to fight against bandits are different.

After the release of a statement from the government of Zamfara, that some officials of the Nigerian government are entering some parts of the state to talk with terrorists without consulting the state government, the Minister of Information, Muhammad Idris, said that there is no smell of truth at all. to suspect.

In Idris' announcement, he said instead of praising the federal government for the urgent action taken by the governor of Zamfara to save the students of Gusau Federal University who were abducted by bandits, he chose to achieve political goals.

From the beginning, the Information Commissioner of Zamfara State, Mannir Haidara, expressed his surprise and frustration with the Zamfara government over the interference of the federal institutions without consulting the government, in the name of peace with bandits.

The decision of the Zamfara government to "know nothing" to the bandits is almost a change from what the former government of Bello Matawalle did, which the new government says is the work of a big elephant.

However, the media officer of the former governor of the state, Zailani Bappah, said that after a long night, they returned to the reconciliation table.

In fact, Zamfara state is at the forefront of the north-western states of Nigeria that have experienced attacks by bandits. However, despite the efforts of the authorities, it is clear that there is still a long way to go.
