Bandits have killed a man in Kwalfada village in the Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State for not allowing his daughter to marry their colleague.
According to an indigene of the village, Mallam Rabo, one of the bandits proposed marriage to the victim’s daughter but her father refused.
The father, according to Rabo, decided to give his daughter to one of the men in the village instead of the bandit.
Rabo said, “After the marriage was contracted, the bandits invaded the community and killed the father of the girl.
“They also asked the husband of the girl to divorce her so that their colleague could marry her.
“They threatened to kill the husband if he did not comply with the directive.
“The husband immediately divorced the wife and she was remarried to the bandit who took her to the forest.”
Rabo who lamented that the bandits had been terrorising the community for a long time, added that no action was taken by the authorities to provide security for the inhabitants.
He said that the bandits imposed N4m levy on the village a few weeks ago.
