He said: “The criminals in Nasarawa State are new. They’re not from Nasarawa State. So, as a result of that, our own people are more familiar with the ground and are able to follow where they are.

“We have some of the bandits that were dislodged from the Northwest and the Northeast and they found some of these hilly places in Nasarawa State.

“We have a lot of rocky places and they’ve found some of those places comfortable. So, they moved to those locations,” Governor Sule noted.
