Zamfara Bandits Reject Buhari’s Ultimatum, Kill 13

Despite President Muhammadu Buhari’s ultimatum to bandits to lay down their arms, bandits on Wednesday attacked a secondary school in Damaga in Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State. At least 13 persons were said to have been gunned down during the attack, according to Daily Trust

The newspaper quoted residents as saying that dozens of unidentified armed men arrived on motorcycles and opened fire immediately.

“They arrived at the community around 1pm and started shooting people. Students were taking lessons at the Day Secondary School in the community but on sighting the armed criminals, they abandoned the classrooms and scampered for safety”

“As I’m talking to you, the bodies of the victims are being recovered and we have concluded arrangements for their burials,” a resident identified as Musa Damaga told Daily Trust.

When contacted, Police Public Relations Officer in the state, SP Muhammad Shehu, simply said: “Give me some time I will get back to you.”

Zamfara is one of the states where bandits have made life a living hell for the people.
