Zamfara: 3 killed, 20 kidnapped, 500 cattle rustled as bandits raid villages

No fewer than 3 persons have been killed with about 20 others kidnapped following a fresh attack in Maradun local government area of Zamfara State.

Also, several persons were injured with 500 cattle rustled away in the attack which took place at the home town of Governor Bello Matawalle.

The chairman of the local government, Ahmed Abubakar, explained that bandits stormed Faru village last Monday and Bachiri on Saturday while an attack on Gama Giwa village was carried out earlier on Sunday.

“My local government is under siege, they are attacking our communities and villages virtually everyday and the military manpower cannot overpower these people. We record 4 to 5 attacks on weekly basis, people are dying, others are being kidnapped because the security forces are not well equipped to fight these people”, Mr. Abubakar added.

He disclosed that villagers are now migrating to local government headquarters.
