The Zamfara chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the incessant bandit attacks on communities in the state.

In a statement on Wednesday, Yusuf Idris, APC publicity secretary in the state, while reacting to the recent bandit attack in Zurmi LGA, said the party will continue to seek government’s intervention to return peace to the state.

“We condole the families of those who lost their lives in the unfortunate attacks,” he said.

“We pray to Allah to accommodate them in Jannaatu Firdausi and give their families the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.

“We will continue to push the governments at all levels to ensure the return of lasting peace in all our communities

“We will also continue to assist in our best efforts to cushion the effects of the suffering faced by our people.”

The APC spokesperson commended security agencies for their concerted efforts against insecurity in the state.

“We condemn the nonchalance of the state government to the situation and lack of sympathy to the rural communities by Governor Dauda Lawal,” Idris added.

“It is very unfortunate that the state government has not shown any sign of regret or sympathy to the affected communities.

“We commend security agencies for their efforts against insecurity bedeviling the state.

“We appeal to them to continue to demonstrate their dedication, resilience and commitment in the protection of innocent lives and properties.”
