The leader of the Fulani submitted over two locally fabricated pistols and three Dane guns to the military.

The acting director, army public relations, Col Sani Kukasheka Usman, said the Fulani herdsmen leader reiterated that Ruwa promised to convince all other known armed herdsmen to come out and renounce their illegal use of ammunition against the government.
“This is in continuation of ongoing efforts to rid Zamfara State of the menace of livestock rustling and armed banditry,” Col Usman stated.
