Bandits have killed 15 people in Unguwar Yabo village of Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State and Marar-Zamfarawa villlages, Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina State.

While 12 persons were killed in the Zamfara attack, three persons lost their lives in the Katsina attack.

An indigene of the village, Malam Sani Mohammed, told Sunday PUNCH that the bandits invaded the village in motorcycles and began to shoot at the people indiscriminately.

Mohammed said the bandits spent several hours in the village, shooting and looting people’s belongings without response from the security agents posted to the area for security reasons.

Apart from the number of people killed, Mohammed also said many people sustained various degrees of injuries from gunshots.

“We have seen hell. These heartless people have completely ruined the village because most of those killed or wounded are those we are proud of. Twelve persons were killed.” he said.

Shehu explained that several others who sustained injuries were taken to the General Hospital in Tsafe for treatment.
