It was also learnt that the bandits abducted other residents in the area, although they are yet to demand for ransom.
According to a resident, Ishiaku Umaru, the terrorists stormed the chairman’s residence in the early hours of Thursday and started shooting sporadically.

He explained that most of the kidnap victims are mainly women and children.
Efforts to contact the Zamfara State Police Command’s spokesman, ASP Yazid Abubakar, were not successful as at the time of filing this report.
