The Commander of 1 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Gusau, Brigadier General Sani Ahmed, says the intensified security operations in Zamfara State have led to the bumper harvest of farm produce during this year’s farming season.
He also vowed to continue conducting harvest and farm troops’ patrol to ensure farmers harvest their produce without any attack.
The Commander stated this when he hosted the chairman and members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Zamfara State council at the Headquarters 1 Brigade, as he sought for national interest in news reportage from the journalists.
Over the years, farmers in the rural communities in Zamfara State have been experiencing bandits’ attacks on their farmlands while some pay levies to the criminal gangs before they can access their farms.
