Zamfara State Bello Mohammed Matawallen has charged royal fathers in the state to provide intelligence that can extirpate banditry, kidnapping, cattle rustling and other criminal activities bedeviling the entire northern region of the country.

The Governor gave the charge while receiving eminent personalities from Shinkafi, Zurmi, Kaura Namoda, Birnin Magaji and Tsafe  Emirates Councils on a sallah homage at his Gusau residence.

Governor Matawalle said royal fathers have a great role to play in gathering and sharing of intelligence with Security agencies that will lead to ending security challenges that engulf the northern region.

He directed them to share intelligence with security agencies so that immediate, appropriate measures can be taken accordingly.

The governor described sharing of genuine intelligence as the major bedrock of ending  security challenges facing the region and the country at large.

The Governor reiterated his administration’s determination to protect the  lives and properties of all citizens at all levels in the state.

Matawalle appreciated the support and cooperation enjoyed by his government from the royal fathers especially in the area of peace process initiated by his administration, stressing that the initiative yielded positive results leading to opening of all the roads and market places that were not accessible or patronised before the coming of his administration.
