The disarmament of armed bandits, cattle rustlers and vigilante process
spearheaded by Zamfara State and 1 Division Nigerian Army has been
yielding the desired result as more persons have been surrendering
themselves, arms and ammunition.
This assertion followed the surrender of more arms at Gusau, Maru and

of the recovered arms within this week is as follows; 3AK-47 Rifles, 2
G3 Rifles, 1 Small Machine Gun, 3 Pump Action Guns, 1 Teargas Launcher, 3

process.
