Zamfara Governor Hands Over 200 Operational Vehicles To Security Agencies (Pics)


Governor Bello Mohammed (Matawallen Maradun) has handed over 200 operational vehicles procured by his administration in support of all operational security agencies in the state.

Beneficiaries of the vehicles include the Army, the Police, the Dss, the NCDC, the Customs and Excise, the Immigration, the Correctional Center and the FRSC.

Governor Matawalle said his administration has renewed its war on banditry with a vigorous pursuit of its carrot and Stick approach policy to end the menace.


He said that apart from the vehicles donated today, his administration has instituted a monthly inferest to the security operatives and has done a lot in providing them with decent office and house accommodations, silent falcon drones and other operational gadgets.

Governor Matawalle commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his cooperation to ensure the end of banditry in the state. He said the President has listened to him all the time and has positively responded to all his requests with the latest sending of two Police squadrons to the state and 780 men to tackle the bandits in flash areas of the state.

Governor Matawalle said that no government is worth its name if it will fold its arms and allow its citizens to wallow in uncertainty and often serious attacks which leads to loss of lives and property.

Governor Matawalle said those who squarely blame President Muhammadu Buhari or the security operatives over insurgency and banditry must go back and fulfil their own responsibility to ending the problem first.

Governor Matawalle therefore, urged all and sundry to help in ending the activities of bandits by supporting the security operatives with timely and genuine intelligence and other sundry support to ensure victory over the bandits.

He also warned those bandits who refuse to accept the peace accord of his administration to prepare for the worst as the new arrangement will ensure that no one of them will be spared.

Responding on behalf of the recipients, representative of the Chief of Army Staff, Major General Nuhu Ambagzo thanked Governor Bello Matawalle for the giant stride in the current fight against the bandits. He promised that both kinetic and non-kinetic services of the Military will be fully improved.

The incident happened at Etimagu Street, Bariga area of Lagos where they reside. Police sources alleged that the suspect, Jonas, lured the victim into his apartment where he confused her, removed her pant and eventually defiled her in the process. However, while in the act, their neighbours caught him and the matter was reported to the Police who arrested and handed him to the Gender Section of the Command, Ikeja, Lagos for further investigation.

The Court did not take his plea after the prosecutor, Mr. Christopher John, asked the Court to refer the matter to t...

Arsenal's £72m Enigma: Arteta Right To Demand More From Mercurial Pepe

The Gunners' record signing may have scored his third goal of the season on Thursday night but his manager wants consistency across 90 minutes. Mikel Arteta’s answer was clear when asked what Nicolas Pepe needed to show in order to earn himself a regular starting spot in Arsenal's Premier League team. “Consistency,” said the Arsenal boss, when quizzed on the Gunners’ record signing, following Thursday’s night’s 4-1 Europa League win against Molde at the Emirates Stadium. It was a game that perfectly encapsulated the enigma that is Pepe. The £72 million ($95m) man was infuriating at times - especially in the first half - but just as he had done against Dundalk a week earlier, he popped up with an excellent goal. He also went on to add an assist for Joe Willock, a late strike which sealed a comfortable victory for Arteta’s side and all but booked Arsenal’s passage into the knockout stages. It was a classic Pepe performance and more evidence of why he remains such a puzzle in nort...

Should Arsenal Sell Eddie Nketiah To West Ham

 Once he hit the U18s he was known as a prolific goalscorer, and was quickly promoted to the U23s, where he carried on scoring despite his age, and Arsene Wenger introduced him to the senior side. Fans started to take notice when he came on as a sub in a League Cup game against Norwich and scored both goals and we were excited for his future. But that promise has never quite materialised. Eddie has continued to be prolific against Smaller sides (i.e. League Cup, Europa League and England U21 qualifiers) but in the League he has managed just 4 goals in 33 appearances, although mostly off the bench. The superstriker never seems to emerge, but I guess we have to remember he is still only 21 and has rarely had a run in the senior side, but I don’t think fans are as excited about him displacing Aubameyang or Lacazette any more. So, the rumours today are that West Ham are considering making an offer for Eddie, after selling Hillier to Ajax for 20m, and we could probably do with selling a...
