Zamfara Government Urges Continued Prayers to Combat Banditry

In a statewide broadcast on Friday, the Zamfara State Government called on residents to persist in their prayers for an end to banditry and insecurity plaguing the region. The appeal was made during the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations, emphasizing the importance of spiritual intervention alongside ongoing security efforts.

The government acknowledged the challenges faced by the state due to banditry and reiterated its commitment to restoring peace and stability. Residents were encouraged to remain vigilant and supportive of security agencies working tirelessly to protect lives and property.

This call for continued prayers aligns with previous appeals by state officials, including the Head of Service, who have emphasized the role of collective spiritual efforts in combating insecurity.
