18 Killed In Another Zamfara Attack
No fewer than 18 people have been reportedly killed when armed bandits invaded two communities in violence-prone Zamfara State on New Year day.
Sources tell PREMIUM TIMES that the gunmen stormed Dutsin kure and Manasa in Tsafe local government on Tuesday leaving deaths and destruction in their trail.
While nine people were reportedly killed in Dutse, the other nine were shot dead in Manasa in the early hours of Tuesday.
One of the sources disclosed that the armed bandits besieged the towns in a convoy of motorcycles, armed with assorted weapons including AK 47 rifles.
“Many of the survivors have fled the towns for neighbouring places,” the survivor said.
”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 attackers also destroyed large storages of farm produce, the villagers had kept hidden after the last spate of attacks.
Speaking on the attack, the state police command spokesperson, Shehu Mohammed said the command is currently “making efforts toward bringing the culprits to book”.
“The command is leaving no stone unturned toward arresting the situation,” he said. “Police have been deployed to not only those places (attacked) but to all other places that are affected.”
