In a shocking attack in Zamfara State, bandits have kidnapped around 100 people from multiple communities near Gusau, the state capital. Among the victims was a Chief Imam, who was taken for the second time.

The affected communities, such as Wanke, are in a state of fear and confusion. Many residents are fleeing their homes to escape further attacks. A survivor shared a harrowing account of the incident, stating that over 50 people were abducted near Sabon Layi and another 50 near Dagon Hayi. The bandits chased their victims on motorbikes, and some were even caught while running for safety.

The attackers didn’t just abduct people; they also stole motorcycles, food, and phones from the communities they targeted, including Gira, Ruwa Kusa, Dogon Hayi, and Gidan Kado. Despite notifying local officials, no response has been seen, and authorities have not yet addressed the crisis.

This incident is part of the ongoing violence in the region, where the safety of residents remains uncertain.
