Two weeks ago, eight youth corps members heading to their places of positing were abducted from a bus in Zamfara State.

Shinkafi advised the Governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal to engage in a “peace dialogue” with repentant bandits, stressing that the stance taken by the administration of Lawal’s predecessor, Bello Matawalle, to dialogue with the terrorists was beneficial to securing the release of abductees in the state.

He lamented, “No place in the 14 local governments of Zamfara is safe, many people are killed, many people are kidnapped.”
