Governor Dauda Lawal reaffirmed his administration’s policy of refusing to negotiate with or yield to criminals in Zamfara State.
On Thursday, the governor visited Bungudu Local Government Area to offer condolences to affected families, the emirate, and the community following the recent bandit attack.

He said, “I am here to express my sympathy and offer condolences to the families, the Emir, and the people of Bungudu following last week’s bandit attacks.
“This is a test from Almighty Allah, and we will overcome it. The state government is dedicating resources and efforts to end the threat of banditry.
“I encourage everyone to remain patient, as this sensitive issue requires both perseverance and steadfast prayers.
“I pray that God grants the victims’ families the strength to endure this loss. May Allah forgive those who lost their lives.
“We will continue to provide all necessary assistance to those injured and will do everything possible to secure the safe return of all kidnapped victims.”
In response, the Emir of Bungudu thanked God for providing Zamfara State with a Governor who cares and is taking all possible measures to end insecurity.
“As a member of the state’s security council, I am aware of the governor’s efforts. I am confident that we will overcome the challenge of banditry.
