No fewer than 49 persons have been reported killed by bandits during a five-day-long operation in Zamfara State.

The deceased, according to residents, were killed in five affected villages in Anka Local Government Area of Zamfara State from Tuesday to Saturday.

According to the locals, 18 persons were killed in Farar-Kasa village; 22 in Dangulbi, two in Duhuwa, four in Tsatsomawa and three others in Yar Sabaya villages respectively.

A resident of Anka town, Malam Idris Anka (not real name) said the bandits have been attacking communities in the local government since the beginning of this week.


He said, “Banditry has become a daily affair in this part of Zamfara state. To be honest with you, we are tired of this menace. The bandits are operating as if we do not have a government in this country. These people are almost everything in our communities; they are the police, the traditional rulers and the community leaders.

“They can attack any community at will, place levy on any community they so wish and abduct anybody in any community and nobody has the right to say no whatever directives they give.”

Another resident, who doesn’t want to be named, said he narrowly escaped the bandits along Anka-Bagega road today (Saturday), saying “two bandits in military uniform erected an illegal check-point along the road today (yesterday) robbing road users.

Mallam Bello Muhammad, a commercial driver, appealed to both the federal and state governments to come to their aid by providing enough security personnel to the area, as according to him non-presence of security is aiding banditry in the local government.


When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Zamfara State Command, ASP Yazid Abubakar promised to contact the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Anka Division for details; however, he neither called back this reporter nor answered several calls put to him.

Meanwhile, the Zamfara State Government has rejected an alleged move by the federal government for a peace pact with bandits in the state.

If the state Government signed the peace deal, all these incessant killings might stop.

Can you imagine how many people have died an untimely death just because of these guys

Massive depopulation exercise. Same pattern is being used to dominate mineral and resource rich Del Gado in Mozambique.
Fear Islamists.

Peace deal with who? Terrorists?

Quite shameful that killings have become a normal thing in Nigeria .sign of leadership failure

Everywhere is now quiet, people that were crying about killings, now see as normal under APC..

Where are the useless friends of Nigeria who are fond of calling anybody protesting misgovernance "enemies of Nigeria"?

How come Nigeria is not getting better with all your prayers? Has your prayers become abomination to God? Hello, useless dirty sinners.

COMRADES, Tinubu has confessed that he is confused, let the onslaught continues in the north, let the people of Zamfara State defend themselves by all means

Non Kinematic approach seems not to be working.
Until the politicians and the northern leaders and her people unite against the monster, else insecurity will continue to drive.
Insecurity is a profitable business in Nigeria and elsewhere.
