The Governor, who lamented that the bandits are taking advantage of the vastness and difficult terrain of the forestland to unleash terror on innocent people, stated that the state government is fully supporting the joint security task force to chase the armed bandits out of the state.
While sympathising with victims of the recent armed banditry attacks in the affected communities, Bello called for calm appealing to them to cooperate with and assist security agencies by providing credible intelligence reports that will uncover the hideout of the bandits.
