The immediate past Commissioner for Information in Zamfara State, Honourable Ibrahim Magaji Dosara has warned that bandits now operate a new strategy.

Dosara stated in a post on the NUJ WhatsApp platform that bandits are now wearing hijabs, pretending to be women.

“The Public should be aware of these tactics and understand the tricks of the terrorists so as to avoid receiving unknown persons.

“They should be very careful about the kind of people who come to them in the form of women.

“People should be as wise as serpents so that they should not fall into the web of the ravaging bandits in the State,” he said.

He said the alarming rate at which the terrorists waste lives of security operatives, especially the police, is so embarrassing, perplexing and worrisome.

Dosara listed examples of four police officers killed by bandits at Bungudu town in Bungudu Local Government Area and the killing of a police mechanic at Kucheri town in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

“These bandits are not ready for peace and the government should not accept any form of peace accord or reconciliation with them because one cannot make peace with blood-thirsty people, “ Dosara said.

“The State government and security agencies should not relax but tackle them on fire for fire operation,” he noted.

According to Dosara, if the terrorists could be killing security officers, then the defenseless Nigerian civilians were in serious trouble.
