Bandits in the Zamfara community have killed and kidnapped numerous residents
Numerous villagers were abducted and many more were killed when gunmen thought to be terrorists assaulted the Kwatar settlement in the Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State, near to Gidan Zala.
Without the help of security personnel, the bandits broke into the neighbourhood on Friday morning, according to reliable sources at Obasanjonews24.
Ismaila, a rural police officer, claims that during the terrorists’ devastating operation, many villagers were slain, some were kidnapped, and many more managed to escape with varied degrees of injuries.
He said, “Many locals were also slain in the raid, including my father, older brother, and his wife.
He continued, saying that practically every villager who had survived the attack had fled the area out of concern for the bandits’ potential reappearance.
Ya’u Ibrahim, a different villager, told Obasanjonews24 that the incident was awful and emphasised that many community members suffered major injuries while attempting to flee the vicious assault.
He urged the Federal Government to urgently proclaim a state of emergency in the State so that the citizens may breathe easier.
In addition, Obasanjonews24 learned that on the same day, armed bandits launched a terror attack against a community close to Dangibga village in the State’s Tsafe Local Government Area, albeit the number of casualties was not made public at the time this article was being put together.
This medium can confirm with authority that the State’s axis to Tsafe Local Government Area has turned into a bandit hotspot.
The Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Yazeed Abdulahi, refused to answer his calls, making it impossible to acquire the police’s reactions.
