A traditional ruler, whose house was ransacked by the bandits, expressed dismay over the high level of insecurity in the town.
“It was to my hearing the bandits burgled my palour’s door, coming towards my inner room, I managed to hide while my wives and children followed another passage and ran away to hide somewhere,” he narrated.
The traditional ruler, who wishes to remain anonymous, expressed concern over the frequent attacks on the town. He mentioned a similar attack the previous Friday where bandits rustled cattle and sheep.
A resident of the town, Hassan Ibrahim, described the attack as horrifying, with bandits stationed at various locations armed with sophisticated weapons. “When I heard them near my door, I quickly scaled a nearby wall and fled for safety. Fortunately, I escaped, but I overheard them saying that we were all hiding,” he recounted.
He emphasized the urgency for the Minister of State for Defence, who is the former governor of Zamfara State, to intervene in the security situation of his hometown to prevent further attacks.
