The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF has pleaded with the government to extend the “no fly zone” ban to other states like Benue, Taraba and Borno saying there were rumors that helicopters frequently dropped arms for bandits and insurgents operating in these states.
The ACF also congratulated the people and government of Zamfara state on the safe release of the kidnapped school girls from Jangebe Government Girls Secondary School in the state.
Chief Audu Ogbe, ACF Chairman, in a statement on Wednesday, expressed the Forum’s delight with the federal government’s decision to ban flights in Zamfara state.
“We believe that such an extended ban will curtail the operations of the criminals in these areas,” ACF said.
