18 FEARED KILLED IN ANOTHER ZAMFARA ATTACK

The sources further stated that the attackers stormed the towns in a convoy of motorcycles, armed with assorted weapons including AK 47 rifles, just as it was learnt from a survivor that the bandits operated unchallenged for hours after threatening to deal with anyone who opposed their movement.

“Many of the survivors have fled the towns for neighbouring places. Those who are close to Katsina have gone there while those who are very close to Sokoto, like the people of Maradun have relocated there, the sources said”

Penpushing further reports that, the armed bandits also destroyed large storages of farm produce, the villagers had kept hidden after the last spate of attacks.

However, the Zamfara State Police Command spokesperson, Shehu Mohammed when contacted explained that the command is currently “making efforts toward bringing the culprits to book”.

He added, “the command is leaving no stone unturned toward arresting the situation. Police have been deployed to not only those places (attacked) but to all other places that are affected.”
