Bandits Torch Vehicles in Zamfara as Retaliation Attack
On Sunday, bandits set multiple vehicles ablaze in Yar Gada town, located in the Magami District of Gusau local government area, Zamfara state. This incident is reportedly a reprisal for an attack against the bandits in the Yar Tasha Sahabi area along the Gusau-Dansadau Road, where security operatives and local vigilantes had killed some bandits and seized their weapons.
In response, the bandits have intensified their attacks on travelers, establishing roadblocks and setting vehicles on fire. The latest attack has caused panic among travelers and residents of Magami and surrounding communities, particularly those using the Gusau-Dansadau highway, which is known for its high volatility due to banditry.
Residents have urged security agencies to increase patrols along these highways to prevent further attacks.
