Thugs Caught With Rifles Will Face Prosecution- Matawalle
The Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, has vowed that thugs caught with AK-47 rifles and other dangerous weapons during a political rally in the state earlier in the week, must be brought to book.
Matawalle while addressing newsmen at his country home in Maradun town, Maradun Local Government Area of the state, on Friday, said only security operatives were empowered by law to carry AK-47 rifles or any other sophisticated weapon.
“I wonder what civilians could be doing with AK-47 rifles or other dangerous weapons if they are not terrorists,” he added.
According to him, the suspects will be arraigned before a court of competent jurisdiction as soon as thorough investigations are concluded.
