Bandits appear to be prowling communities in Zamfars for wholescale abductions.
Only on Sunday August 15, the terrorists killed four persons and abducted 15 people at the State’s College of Agriculture and Animal Science in Bakura.
Five days after the audacious act, 60 persons were seized at Rimi village in Bakura..
Zamfara State Commissioner for Information, Ibrahim Dosara, told the TVC that: “This morning, we woke up to hear that bandits invaded Rimi village in Bakura LGA, abducting about 60 people, though it is not really confirmed, ” he says, adding that officials are working to ascertain the real number of those kidnapped.
“Security agencies and government officials are working hard to ascertain the real number and other casualties involved.
“Bakura LGA, as a whole, is a kind of route for the bandits, leading to Dansadau, Birnin Gwari and other areas of Niger state,” he said.
