President Muhammadu Buhari, on July 13, Wednesday, landed in north-western Nigeria’s Zamfara state.
The president is expected to launch a special military task force to help combat cattle rustlers.
Hundreds of people have been killed in villages in and around Zamfara in the last three years.
The armed gangs are based in a forest, from where they raid nearby villages.
