Defence Minister, Matawalle links Zamfara State Governor to banditry.

The Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has challenged Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, to swear with the Quran that he has no hands in banditry affecting the state.

Matawalle gave the charge while rejecting the governor’s claim which linked him to banditry in the state.
