According to Naija News, the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, and Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, have publicly accused each other of being involved in bandit sponsorship.

Buba emphasized that both the military and relevant security agencies are actively investigating the situation, promising that further announcements will be made in due course. He reiterated that the primary objective remains to defeat bandits and other criminal elements within the country.

“In discussing the sponsors, I assure you that the relevant agencies responsible for this matter are diligently performing their duties. You will soon hear some updates regarding this issue,” he stated.

He also remarked on the broader strategy, saying, “Winning a war involves destroying the enemy’s will to fight. Once that will is broken, the war is effectively won, which is why we are focused on undermining their resolve.”
