THE National Rescue Movement (NRM) has urged the Zamfara Government to restore order to halt further killings in the state.

The Secretary of the party in the state, Mr Bello Galadi made the call while briefing newsmen on Wednesday in Gusau.

Galadi expressed concern over the manner people were being killed in the state and accused the state government of not doing enough to end the killings and protect residents.

He said that the party had suspended its activities in order mourn with the families of victims of the recent attacks in Anka Emirate.

The scribe said there was need for government to identify the root causes of the killings and take necessary measures to end it.

He also blamed the Federal Government for not taking proactive measures toward protecting lives in the state.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Gov. Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara recently directed security agents to shoot and kill anyone caught carrying firearms in the state after the killing of 30 persons in Bawan Daji village. (NAN)
