BREAKING: Residents Killed, Over 100 Abducted As Many Bandits Attack Them

Not less than three residents have tragically lost their lives, and more than 120 others have been abducted following a harrowing attack by notorious bandits on the Goran Namaye community in Zamfara State’s Maradun Local Government Area.

Abubakar Muhammad, a resident of the area, recounted that the terrorists stormed the town at approximately 1:17 am on Thursday, systematically moving from one residence to another. He revealed that the abducted individuals were predominantly women and men, highlighting that three lives were also lost during the raid.

Muhammad described the assailants as arriving in significant numbers, mounted on motorcycles and armed with sophisticated weaponry, effectively surrounding the community as panic spread. He lamented the chaos that ensued, with residents fleeing in disarray and many being pursued into the forest by the attackers.

Despite the gravity of the situation, security agencies in the state have yet to issue an official statement on the incident at the time of this report.
