The incessant attacks and abductions in the state had triggered the decision of the state government to shutdown primary and secondary schools pending when normalcy returned.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian Television Authority, NTA, posted report of their release on its Facebook page on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

However, when contacted by DAILY POST, the state\u2019s Police Public Relations Officer, SP Mohammed Shehu, said, \u201cI am not in Zamfara State for now. I don\u2019t know what is happening there, if I\u2019m Zamfara, you won\u2019t be able to reach me\u201d.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) had ordered telecom operators to suspend their networks in Zamfara as security operatives unleash offensives against criminal elements in forests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
