Gunmen kill farmer in Zamfara community

Gunmen on Saturday killed one Abdulkareem Kwaren in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

According to a relative of the deseased, Mallam Lawal Kwaren Mai Saje, his brother was returning from his farm Saturday evening when the terrorists on motorcycles shot him and he died on the spot.

He told DAILY POST that the farm was not too far from the village, saying that though the bandits did not enter the community, the villagers have fled their homes for fear of being attacked by the terrorists.

“You know that the bandits can operate at will and at any moment of the day in the local government area. So, we are not surprised to hear that they attacked one village or another.

“Attacks on villages in the area are no longer new to us and the state government and security operatives are pretending as if the area is being protected by them.”

All efforts to get reaction from the state police command proved unsuccessful as the numbers of the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, ASP Yazeed Abdulahi, were unreasonable as at the time of filing this report.
