Zamfara State Governor, Alhaji Abdul’Aziz Yari Abubakar has said the state government will place suggestion boxes in mosques to gather information as means of curbing crime in the state.
Yari said the suggestion boxes will erase fear in the minds of those who provide the vital information as they will not be known.
The governor made the disclosure in Goran-Namaye village in Maradun local government area while sympathizing with the victims of recent bandits attack in the village.
“The information provided in the suggestion boxes will be given to the security agencies for them to analyse and this I believe will go a long way in eradicating banditry in the state,” he said.
Yari who was accompanied by heads of security agencies in the state lamented that despite the commitments of the state government to improve security in the state bandits are still terrorising communities in the state.
He sad it is very unfortunate despite all the logistics being provided to security agencies in the state bandits are still killing the people.
“Attacks of bandits to our communities become daily activities. I give you one week to bring out the attackers of the communities,” he said.
The state government donates one million naira to each family of the deceased and N250,000 each to the injured persons.
In his response, the House of Reps member whose son is still with the abductors, Alhaji Yahaya Chado commended the governor for the visit and measures taken by the state government to improve security in the area.
Earlier, the emir of Maradun, Alhaji Garba Tambari complained over shortage of security personnel in the area.
