The Zamfara State government has secured the release of 200 people abducted by bandits in the State.
The Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Nasiru Magarya, disclosed this when the delegation of the Conference of Speakers of States Legislatures in Nigeria paid him a condolence visit on Thursday in Gusau.
The delegation led by the Speaker of the Bauchi State House of Assembly, Abubakar Sulaiman, visited the Magarya to commiserate with him over the death of his father, Alhaji Mu’azu Magarya, who died in the custody of bandits in the State.
Also in the team were Speakers of Kano, Katsina, and Yobe Houses of Assembly.
Magarya commended the forum for the visit, adding that the lingering security challenges in Zamfara had been a concern to Governor Bello Matawalle’s administration.
He, however, assured the visitors and people of the State of the government’s readiness to address the State’s security challenges.
Magarya noted that the released victims are on their way to Gusau.
