The Zamfara Commissioner for Women and Children Affairs, Hajiya Rabi Shinkafi, has resigned her appointment to take up another commissionership appointment in Imo.

“I resigned my appointment as commissioner in Zamfara to enable me to pick another appointment as commissioner in Imo,’’ Shinkafi told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Gusau on Thursday.

“I am immensely grateful to Gov. Bello Matawalle and his Wife, Hajiya Aisha Matawalle, for their kindness to me and for giving me the opportunity to serve Zamfara in different capacities.

“All the speculations in the social media about my resignation are completely false; it was just work of mischief makers,’’ she said.

“I have a perfect and cordial relationship with the governor and his wife. I consider them as my family and they were in the picture of my going to Imo.

“Both Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo and Matawalle discussed it as fellow All Progressives Congress governors and as friends too,’’ Shinkafi added.

Meanwhile in other news out of Zamfara besides the resignation of the commissioner for her new post in Imo State, it emerged that the police have rescued a three-month-old baby and seized sophisticated weapons from bandits in Zamfara.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Ayuba Elkanah, made this known during an interview with newsmen in Gusau on Wednesday.

He said that the victims were abducted from Ruggar Tudu village in Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara.

Elkanah revealed that the police operatives also arrested three suppliers of hard drugs to bandits, and recovered some items from bandits.

They include one motorcycle, eight AK-47 rifles, one General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), one Rocket launcher, and five magazines.

While giving an update on the activities of the police in the last four months, the police commissioner said the State Police Command has recorded tremendous successes in the ongoing war against banditry, kidnapping, cattle rustling, and other crimes in Zamfara.
