President Muhammadu Buhari has called for concerted actions towards eliminating bandits’ carnage in the hinterlands of Zamfara and other parts of North-West.

In a statement by presidential aide Garba Shehu, Mr Buhari rued latest bandits attacks in Damri, Sabongarin Damri and Kalahe villages in Bakura Local Government Area, and lately, Maradun, where several casualties were recorded.

“We mustn’t allow the return of days when the bandits had a free hand to do as they wished. The rural folk in Zamfara and elsewhere must be allowed to have peace,” the president ordered.

“Therefore, the momentum that has been developed must be sustained in order to bring closure to the activities of these murderers.”

Mr Buhari maintained that the combined efforts of the federal and state governments must do all that could be done to bring an immediate end to the horrific killings.

The president expressed condolences to the families of the victims and the government and people of the state.
