Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State has declared that the state government may soon start implementing death penalty on bandits’ informants in the state.
Zamfara already has a law mandating death penalty for bandits.
Hundreds of people have been killed and kidnapped by bandits in Zamfara and neighbouring states in the past year.
The governor announced his stance on Sunday when he visited Lilo village of Wonaka district in Gusau local government area of the state.
He was at the village to sympathise with the people over Saturday night bandits attack on the community which resulted in the death of eight persons and left 18 others with bullet and knife wounds.
He said the government would not tolerate some citizens supporting bandits to carry out their criminal activities while pretending to be good fellows.
