”Government is working towards increasing support to law enforcement agencies and conventional security organisations to mitigate against banditry activities ongoing,” Mr Umar.
The Niger commissioner added, ”I can assure you that efforts are on to flush out these bandits and criminal elements out of the state as well as mitigate their activities.”
