Zamfara State Governor vows to deport almajiris

The Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle has promised to repatriate almajiris in the state back home.

This is coming in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic that has forced Northern Governors to adopt a swift approach of deporting these set of destitute children.

In a tweet on the microblogging platform, Matawalle vowed to send them home.

"We have agreed to repatriate the Almajirai in our domain to their respective home states where they would be properly sheltered and taken care of by their parents," he tweeted.
