Again, Bandits Attack Zamfara Community, Kill 3 Persons, Kidnap 7

 

Suspected Bandits have again attacked the Dansadau community within Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State, killing 3 persons and kidnapped 7 others to unknown location.

A source in the community told newsmen that the armed bandits attacked the community around 2:30am and the siege lasted for about 4 hours, ending in the early hours of Friday morning.

He also confirmed that armoured personnel carrier belonging to the Nigerian military was also set ablaze by the bandits.

This attack is coming barely a few days after 100 kidnapped victims from Manawa village under the Dansadau district were released by the marauders, and barely a week after a military Alpha jet was shot down by gunmen in the state.

As of the time of filing this report, the state police command was yet to confirm the latest attack, though the public relations officer promised to get back to our correspondent with more information.
