Foreigners buy gold with arms in Zamfara — Governor Matawalle - Edoman - 08-26-2020 Foreigners buy gold with arms in Zamfara — Governor Matawalle Governor Bello Matawalle has announced that foreigners are buying gold and other precious mineral resources with arms in Zamfara state which he governs. The Zamfara state Governor who disclosed this after presenting some gold bars and other precious stones mined in his State to President Muhammadu Buhari, said his administration decided to embrace the Presidential Artisanal Gold Mining Development Initiative to stop the criminal act being championed by illegal miners in the state. Matawalle said; Quote:“It’s very important to us as a government, particularly, the issue of insecurity, to know the root cause of insecurity. Zamfara state is blessed with many minerals resources and some people outside the country come in to buy gold and other precious stones and sometimes instead of paying people, they pay back with arms. Commenting on the security situation in his state, Matawalle opposed the call for sack of the service chiefs who according to him need the support of all stakeholders. He said; Quote:“The narration has changed. You won’t be hearing of mass killings in the state because the security agencies are doing their best. |
