Zamfara state Government Anti-thuggery Committee has trained 2,500 newly recruited personnel and cautioned residents of the state to maintain law and order.
The committee was established in February 2022 by Gov. Bello Matawalle through an Executive Order to fight acts of political thuggery, drug abuse and other related criminal offences in the state.
Governor Matawalle also appointed retired military officer, Bello Bakyasuwa as Chairman of the committee.
The state House of Assembly had recently passed the Anti Thuggery Bill, converting the committee to an agency.
