“Zamfara State has, in recent years, borne a heavy burden of insecurity. In the face of banditry, terrorism, and other criminal activities, our Armed Forces and security personnel have stood firm, often at great personal risk.
“Many of our brave sons and daughters have paid the ultimate price in the course of restoring peace and stability to our communities. Today, we salute their courage and reaffirm our collective resolve to build a safer and more prosperous Zamfara State.
“To the families of our fallen heroes—especially the widows, widowers, and children left behind—we share in your pain and loss. Your loved ones did not die in vain. They died in service to humanity and in defence of our collective future.
