Suspected bandits stormed Tadurga village in Zuru Local Government Area of Kebbi State on Monday night, killing an unconfirmed number of people, abducting several others, and rustling livestock.
According to a resident, Audu Sule, the attackers arrived in large numbers, firing indiscriminately and causing widespread panic.
“They came en masse, shooting indiscriminately, broke into shops to loot items, then went on to kill as many as they could, abduct people, and rustle our cows,” Sule said.
This latest incident threatens to undermine the relative gains made in the fight against banditry since Governor Nasir Idris assumed office.
