July 23, (THEWILL) – Bandits have again attacked the Dansadau community within Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State, killing three persons and abducting seven others.
A source in the community told newsmen that the armed bandits attacked the community around 2:30am and the siege lasted for about four hours, ending in the early hours of Friday morning.
He also confirmed that an armoured personnel carrier belonging to the Nigerian military was also set ablaze by the bandits.
This attack is coming barely a few days after 100 kidnapped victims from Manawa village under the Dansadau district were released by the marauders, and barely a week after a military Alpha jet was shot down by gunmen in the state.
As of the time of filing this report, the state police command was yet to confirm the attack.
Dansadau community is about 99 kilometres from Gusau, the Zamfara State capital and is one of the hottest zones for banditry, kidnappings, and other related crimes in the state.
