Governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle of Zamfara State has directed all emirs and chiefs in the state to stay put in their domain to tackle security problems, warning that no emir should pass a night outside his domain henceforth.

The governor gave the directive while speaking at the opening of a one day security meeting with traditional rulers, the Council of Ulama and heads of security agencies in the state.

“Henceforth, no emir or chief is allowed to pass a night outside his domain. You must stay with your people at all times to address the problems of Security in your area.

“As for those who aid and abet insecurity in the state, I say enough is enough. We shall return your wickedness and heartlessness with the wrath you will never envisage”, he warned..

He said that the state Government has been very lenient due to the nature of the delicate approach to negotiations and peace efforts with bandits in the state. He, however, said that the leniency was being taken for granted by bad politicians who chose to compound the insecurity situations in the state.

He also directed all LG chairmen in the state to remain in their respective councils to take charge of their responsibilities as the chief security officers of their areas.

He expressed the determination of the  administration in tackling the security challenges bedeviling the state.
