An eye witness, Malam Ibrahim Muhammed told the News Agency of Nigeria in Gusau on Wednesday that the bandits in their hundreds besieged the area at about 3 am on Tuesday and fired gunshots sporadically in the air to scare the residents away.
“We tried to raise alarm to security agencies who were stationed in different places along Sokoto/Gusau road, but everyone was afraid of being sighted by the assailants who held powerful firearms,” he said.He said the bandits went to the residence of one Dan Haja, a businessman, beat him with iron rods and inflicted serious injuries on him after which they went away with his wife who is a nursing mother and her three months old baby.
