Earlier on Friday, around 5 pm, at Sabuwa Local Government Area of the state, a reliable source told DAILY POST that bandits on motorcycles stormed Ungwar Damari village, where they killed one Shehu Armaya’u, a member of KCWC, and two others simply identified as Lawal and Mamuda. According to the source, the late Armay’au secured a two-day off duty and decided to visit his family when he met his end.
These horrific incidents highlight the escalating bandit attacks plaguing the state’s rural areas. Despite efforts by the KCWC and other security agents, the attacks have intensified since the new year.
