He maitained that the state government would go after them wherever they might be hiding in order to flush them out of the state to restore peace.
Reacting to the recent confiscation of vehicles belonging to the former Governor Bello Mattawalle, Nakwada warned that, the present administration of Dauda Lawal would not leave any stone unturned in its effort to recover the stolen vehicles.
