The rest are Kokiya, Chigama and Nasarawar Godel markets all in Birnin Magaji LGA.

Mr Haidara said the state government found it  necessary to close down those markets due to security reports that the bandits are conniving with some unscrupulous elements to sell off their rustled cows in those markets.

He said that the state government had directed the security agents to ensure total compliance and arrest any person who violated the order.

“The security personnel have since been directed to arrest any person found in these affected markets,” he added.

He called on the people of the state to abide by the order and cooperate with the state government in its efforts to rid the state of banditry.
