The military authorities, yesterday, disclosed that terrorists and bandits have killed nine soldiers and seven other security personnel
in Zamfara since the beginning of this month, in the various operations to tame kidnapping and banditry in the state.
“Sometimes, when you’re really helpless, when you need them , they are not there. Even when they are there, they are given certain instructions on what to do and not what to do. So, the best thing to do is to set up that kind of security outfit.” “Nine soldiers have been killed in June alone while fighting terrorists in Zamfara State, and from our records, seven personnel from other agencies have also been killed this June. So, the military is not relenting,” the spokesman stated.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
