The coordinator of the APC-PCC in the state and senatorial candidate for Zamfara Central, Kabiru Marafa, said these in a statement by its Secretary (Strategic Coordination), Mikail Ibrahim, and obtained by journalists in Abuja titled, ‘Sympathising with the victims of military airstrike in Maru Local Government.’

The statement read, “The APC Presidential Campaign Coordinator in Zamfara State and Senatorial Candidate for Zamfara Central, Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, received with shock the news of the collateral damage from military operations leading to deaths and injuries among civilians at the Mutunji community of Maru Local Government in Zamfara State.

“While acknowledging the selfless and patriotic effort of the armed forces in flushing the bandits out of Zamfara State, Senator Marafa appealed for greater operational diligence and caution to avoid mishaps with such devastating consequences to communities.

“He also calls for an investigation by military authorities of the particular incident at Mutunji to ensure that there was no negligence of any sort and to learn from its lessons and guide future expeditions.
