After recording another massacre of no fewer than 90 people in Kadawa village in Zamfara, Governor Bello Matawalle has told his people to defend themselves and wait no more for security agencies.

He gave the advice at a prayer session in Gusau, just after French speaking bandits invaded Kadawa village in Zurmi Local Government Area.

Matawalle said:“The insecurity situation has defied solution, and as such, people should defend themselves.

“I am calling on the people of the state to defend themselves if bandits attack them. My government has approved that whenever the bandits attack you, do not wait for the security personnel to come to your rescue. You should rise up and protect yourselves.

“My government has also planned to recruit the locals from each community who will be in charge of monitoring their villages to ensure that bandits do not attack the people.”

Matawalle called on traditional rulers and community leaders to ensure that only people of “proven integrity” were recruited.

He also urged traditional rulers to fish out the bad eggs in their communities conniving with the bandits.

The police in Zamfara confirmed Thursday’s attack on Kadawa village, where over 90 people were killed.
