Bandits Kill Four, Kidnap Zamfara LG Vice Chairman

Bandits have killed four people and reportedly kidnapped the Vice Chairman of Bukkuyyum Local Government Area of Zamfara State, Hon. Bala Muhammad Maijidadi, along with several others.  

The coordinated attacks took place between Sunday night and Monday morning across different communities.

A resident, Nasiru Adamu, revealed that gunmen invaded Shemori community in Mada District of Gusau at about 9:20 p.m. on Sunday, abducting six women.

Similarly, on Monday morning, another group of bandits attacked Kairu community in Zugu District, killing two locals and kidnapping an unspecified number of people.

In Mada town, Gusau District, the assailants also targeted Hayin Bajumi, where they set fire to the house of one Aliyu Usman. The fire claimed the lives of his two children—five-year-old Ishaq Aliyu and two-year-old Jafar Aliyu.

“The gunmen also abducted Usman’s neighbor’s wife along with her one-year-old baby before fleeing the scene,” a source disclosed.

Efforts to obtain a reaction from the Zamfara State Police Command spokesperson, ASP Yazeed Abubakar, were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.
