  "summary": "The National Democratic Congress in Zamfara State has condemned a recent attack by bandits on the Bindin community in Maru Local Government Area. According to reports, 12 soldiers and five artisanal miners were killed in the attack.\n\nThe party criticised Governor Dauda Lawal for being absent during the aftermath of the attack, as he was in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, as part of a Federal Government delegation for a leadership exchange on nutrition policy, as reported by Daily Post Nigeria.\n\nThe National Democratic Congress described the governor's absence as insensitive and accused him of failing to meet the expectations of residents affected by insecurity. The party urged the state and Federal Governments to take stronger measures to protect residents and security personnel from further attacks.",
