Bandits Reportedly Invade Zamfara Village, Abduct Women, Children, Killing, Injuring Scores

Musa Mohammed, a native and inhabitant of Gidan Damo village, has disclosed that assailants who brought terror to the community during Wednesday night, kidnapped four women and four children.

Tragically, they also claimed the lives of four individuals and left numerous villagers injured.

Mohammed, in a phone interview with DAILY POST said everyone tried to escape to safety not knowing the fate of the next person but it was eventually discovered that seven persons were shot and four died on the spot.

“The villagers were running without any direction to the bush for the safety of their lives and so nobody cared to wait and monitor what happened”, he added.

Mohammed said the bandits were moving from house to house to pick out their victims and it was later found that four women and their four children were matched into the forest.

“We just finished Magrib prayers after seven o’clock on Wednesday night when we heard several gunshots as the terrorists invaded the community.

All efforts to get the comments of the State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, ASP Yazeed Abdulahi proved unsuccessful as he was not picking his calls.
