“The forest reserve situated around the state’s boundary is the place where those bandits from Northwest and Northeast, particularly from Zamfara axis, have completely relocated to in order to carry out their attacks.

“Farmers are not allowed to farm in that area for the fact that it’s reserved. So it has become a safe haven for bandits, kidnappers and other criminals.

“So if those criminals are in the game reserve, particularly the one which is situated along Taraba boundary, they plan and coordinate attacks from there on civilians,” he said.
