He said, “We mourn the gallant sacrifices of our people who paid the supreme price while chasing bandits who have made life unbearable for them.
“We pray to Allah to accept their martyrdom and accommodate them in Jannah and give their families the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.”
He said the leadership of the party in the state commend President Bola Tinubu for showing commitment to ending banditry in Zamfara and the Northwest region.
He said, “We laud the Minister of State for Defence, Alhaji Bello Matawalle, for ensuring that no stone was left unturned in the fight against insecurity in the Northwest region.
“We also appreciate the ongoing onslaught against bandits in Zamfara that saw the elimination of many criminals.
“We are happy with the ongoing efforts by Operation Fansan Yamma that led to the killing of over 25 terrorists at their hideouts under the control of notorious bandit kingpin, Bello Turji, in Fakai community in Shinkafi Council.
“It is quite impressive that troops of Operation Fansan Yamma are now taking the fight to the bandits’ hideouts, making them flee from the areas.
“This operational strategy should be sustained and supported by all peace-loving citizens.”
