According to Human Rights activists, there is a significant decrease in banditry and terrorist attacks in the North West and North Central.

The Governor of Zamfara State and some groups had accused Matawalle of maintaining ties with the bandits plaguing Zamfara State.

However, Speaking during a press conference held in Kaduna, Shehu Sani, who queried the critics, asked, “Why are some people not happy because Bandit leaders are being targeted and eliminated?”

While stating that Matawalle and Ribadu are delivering on their mandates and making the north safer, he questioned the whereabouts of those accusing the security chiefs of incompetence when people were slaughtered daily under Buhari’s 8-year regime.

He admitted that terrorism and banditry had not been completely wiped out but said there was a big improvement in the safety of the citizens across the North West.

He, therefore, advised,” Now that the war against terrorism is turning the tides against Bandits leaders in the North West, the CDS Musa, Defence Minister of State Matawalle, NSA Ribadu, and others should remain focused and not distracted.
