Bandits have shot the Director General of Zamfara State Community Guards (CPG), General Lawal Muhammed (rtd)

It was gathered that General Muhammad was shot by the bandits during an attack on motorists at Kucheri village in Tsafe local government area of Zamfara state.

According to the Daily Trust, the bandits blocked the busy Funtua-Tsafe road late evening and attacked motorists including the retired army general.

It was gathered that scores of passengers were abducted by the bandits during the operation.

A source from the Zamfara State Ministry of Internal Security, who preferred anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to press, confirmed the incident and said the DG was receiving medical treatment at a Hospital in Gusau, the state capital.

“It is confirmed that the bandits shot DG Community Protection Guards and he is currently receiving treatment at Yariman Bakura Specialist Hospital,” the source said.

The attack comes days after bandits killed at least eight CPG personnel and a commercial driver in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara.

The bandits also engaged soldiers in a gun duel at Unguwar Chida village, killing a commercial driver and injuring three soldiers.

The retired General confirmed the incident.

“After I realised that bandits have made operations in Tsafe a routine exercise, I deployed 105 CPG personnel to the local government and stationed them at this particular point to protect travellers,” he said.

“Unfortunately, the bandits on Sunday ambushed my boys. I suspect that the bandits slept there because my boys used to go there early in the morning. So, while my boys were about to come down from their patrol van, the bandits opened fire and killed some of them on the spot. It is quite unfortunate.”
