Matawalle’s remark was contained in a statement signed by his Media Aide, Zailani Bappa.
He said: “Strong facts indicate that the recurrence of banditry in the State is aided and abetted mostly by powerful indigenes. Some of these people are strong personalities who the people respect.
“There are also, among the generality of the citizens, people who receive paltry sums of money to serve as informants to bandits.”
