Governor Dr. Nasir Idris announced harsh penalties for individuals who assist armed bandits during his Saturday visit to the Zogirma community. The Kebbi State leader traveled to the Bunza Local Government Area to console families after three police officers died fighting suspected Lakurawa militants. Idris declared that anyone convicted of providing intelligence to criminal groups would face execution rather than life imprisonment. The governor emphasized that such traitors represent enemies of society who deserve capital punishment. He promised to sign death warrants within 24 hours of any conviction.
The fatal confrontation occurred Friday evening along the Zogirma-Tilli Road when criminals attempted to kidnap travelers. Police officers engaged the attackers and successfully prevented the abductions during the gun battle. Three law enforcement personnel lost their lives while several bandits were reportedly killed in the exchange. Idris praised the fallen officers as heroes who sacrificed themselves protecting innocent citizens. The governor condemned the violence and vowed stronger security measures for the region.
Additional security forces will be stationed throughout vulnerable communities following the attack. Local Government Chairman Hon. Zayyanu Shehu praised the governor's rapid response to the crisis. District Head Alhaji Tijjani Muhammad requested a sustained security presence after describing the assault as both painful and frightening for residents. The governor assured citizens that his administration would implement every possible measure to protect lives and property. State authorities emphasized their commitment to eliminating criminal activities through decisive action.
