Zamfara State governor Bello Matawalle has accused 'political Bandits' of increasing the figures of killings in the state. He disclosed this to State House correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. He said, "Yes, I have already cleared the air about the figures. Because I have seen some reporting that 200 people, 300 people, 500 people were killed. "But I went to the community by myself and the security agencies. "But some people will just go to social media and be writting some figures and I have informed Mr. President of some people who think that with this insecurity they can achieve something out of it. Some people even swear with Koron that thousand of people have been killed which he noted is misleading.
