Reactions have trailed the decision of bandits in Zamfara to suspend attacks in the state.
Banditry and kidnapping have become a huge menace in the state and have led to numerous security concerns with several protests being held in recent times in a bid to bring attention of the FG to the plights of Zamfara citizens.
It now appears there will be light at the end of the tunnel as a dialogue has been held between the bandit commanders and some stakeholders; the commissioner of Police, Miyetti Allah, Joint Task Force among others.
The News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports that an agreement was reached at the palace of the Emir of Birnin-Magaji where the bandits commanders agreed to suspend attacks.
The bandits also promised to safely return home those still in their captivity.

They are always nothing but Islamic sect. If this stop, another will rize. Bcz, calamity shall always arise from d north. “It has been prophesied, it has be written”. The Northerners kill themselves by themselves. They empower them with arms & ammunitions, & money.

IF ONLY THEY ARE SINCERE THEY THE RENUNCIATION SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED WITH THE SURRENDER OF THEIR DEADLY WEAPONS. LEAVING THEM HOLDING THE WEAPONS IS AS GOOD AS BEIGN BACK WITH THEIR NAFARIOUS ACTIVITIES.
