By Admin

Governor Bello Matawallen has expressed his confidence on the current Commissioner of Police in the State, CP Usman Nagogo, especially in the Commissioner's  drive to make the State free from all forms of banditry and criminality.

Matawalle made this  known yesterday, Thursday, at the Government House while receiving firearms voluntarily surrendered by two repentant bandits, Sani Mochoko and Alhaji Shehu Bagewaye, who in the past had terrorized communities in the State but have now come to join hands with the State Government following the Governor's peace and reconciliation initiative.

"I wish to declare that I pass a vote of confidence on the Commissioner of Police, Usman Nagogo, because he has shown the Government and good people of Zamfara that he is here to demonstrate what police work really means, which is the protection of people's lives and property while trying to show the irresponsible ones among us that all hope is not lost and that they can leave their bad ways, reintegrate into the society and contribute positively to national development", he said.

The Governor who lamented that there are moves by some highly placed citizens of the State to remove the commissioner who they feel should not be doing the right thing, perhaps for reasons best known to them and said this will not happen especially now that the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, is insisting on zero tolerance on criminality.

Matawalle, however, urged the CP not to be distracted by those selfish persons and also appealed to the IGP not to allow such mischievous elements misguide him with their unguarded  thoughts.

He reiterated his confidence in the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, in his stance for justice and the need for Nigeria to remain as a united entity with citizens living happily believing that the National Assembly will not support the moves by the disgruntled persons who are bent on bringing down the Matawalle-led administration in the State.

He also informed the peace loving people of the State on the moves by the unpatriotic persons and urged them to disregard all possible propaganda that they could use to deceive the citizens.

Matawalle then pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari on behalf of the good people of the States, not to allow the disgruntled persons take the State back to the terrible happenings the people of the State faced for about a decade before the Matawalle government came on board, more notably that the President has shown his support to the peace initiative of the Matawalle administration since its flag-off.

While presenting the repentant bandits and their guns made up of four AK 47, two GPMC and 900 rounds of ammunition to the Governor, the Commissioner of Police, CP Usman Nagogo, said that the bandits surrendered the items on their own, voluntarily, following their confidence in the peace and reconciliation initiative which they said is transparent and convincing, unlike the one done in the past.

Also in his remarks, the SSA to the Governor on Security, Alhaji Abubakar Mohammed Dauran, said that the repentant bandits have been on the increase in the State, even though there is no financial implications  or other hidden benefits attached but for the fact that they now move freely and do business without any hindrance.

On their own, the repentant bandits promised to support the State Government in sustaining the peace and assured to continue to create awareness to those who are yet to embrace the peace process to do so for their own benefit in living without any fears.
