 Bandits killed at least 25 people yesterday in fresh attacks on four villages in Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State. The gunmen abducted about 40 traders after killing two policemen and four civilians in Mai Kansa village in Maru LGA of the state.



The bandits intercepted about 7 trucks conveying traders from Dansadau to Dankurmi, and started firing at them. Yesterday’s attack came 2 weeks after 40 illegal gold miners were killed in Bindin village also in Maru LGA.


NAN gathered that the hoodlums took away all the passengers, except one woman who they spared alongside her three-year-old son and told her to report back what happened.


The woman was said to have reported back to Dansadau that the bandits would not release the hostages until the governor released their cows numbering over 400 which were recovered from them by security men recently, within 7 days.


A joint security patrol had recovered the rustled cows from the criminals during which 7 members of the gang were also killed.


Shortly after the abduction of the villagers, a team of mobile policemen went on a rescue mission but the bandits shot and killed two of them and also went away with a third.


The photos were shared by Rariya.Our Hausa readers should plz help out with a better translation of Rariya's narration of the incident.
