Residents Who Fought Bandits Flee Zamfara Villages Over Fear Of Reprisal

The residents of four villages in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State have fled to other places for fear of reprisal by bandits.

The bandits, who were confronted by the four villages’ residents, could not succeed in abducting anybody due to the large number of people who turned out to defend themselves.

A resident of the area, Ibro Mamman, told The PUNCH that the bandits were currently hiding very close to the four villages waiting for the people to return to attack them.

He said, “The security situation is not favourable. As such, we will not go back until security agents are deployed to protect us.”
