Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State, has accused the Federal Government of negotiating with terrorists in the state.

The governor disclosed this in a statement signed by his media aide, Sulaiman Idris.

The statement reads: “Reports indicated that a delegation allegedly sent by some agencies of the Federal Government has been holding talks with bandit groups in Zamfara without the knowledge of the state government.”

He challenged the federal government to clarify the report and investigate the claim.
