Zamfara Air Traffic ban; too little, too late?

Displaced residents of Monguno, in Borno State also alleged they saw helicopters dropping supplies for the Boko Haram insurgents in the bushes
Something remarkable happened on Tuesday, March 2, 2021; President Mohammadu Buhari placed a no-flight ban on Zamfara State and directed that all mining activities in that state should cease forthwith. Ordinarily, such far-reaching news items should have been celebrated across the nation.
