Reports confirm the distressing news of the loss of seven lives in Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State due to the merciless actions of bandits.
This unfortunate incident occurred within a short span following another devastating attack where bandits ruthlessly took the lives of 48 individuals across three villages in Bakura Local Government Area of the state.
According to a local source in Maradun, two villages, Faru and Kauyen Minane, were subjected to this brutal assault on Saturday afternoon, May 7.
“I was at the Maradun General Hospital when the soldiers brought the corpses of those killed,” shared Jamilu Muhammad with Premium Times.
“Our people in the village of Garin Minane said the bandits stormed the town some minutes before 2pm and began shooting sporadically. What they used to do was to conduct house to house search for domestic animals or other valuables but yesterday, the moment they entered the village, they began shooting sporadically,” he stated.
“They have buried the deceased here in Maradun because going back to do the burial in the villages was impossible for fear that they (bandits) may return.”
