Armed cattle thieves have killed at least 35 people in five villages in northwest Nigeria’s Zamfara state, police said Saturday, in the latest violence in the restive region.“Thirty-five people were killed by the bandits in the five villages,” state police spokesman Mohammed Shehu told AFP.
He said those killed were buried on Friday while the injured were taken to hospital in Gusau, the state capital. On Wednesday, bandits killed 18 people when they raided Tsauwa village in neighbouring Katsina state.The gangs are largely motivated by financial gains but some of them have appeared in videos pledging allegiance to jihadists, who are waging a 12-year-old insurgency to establish an Islamic state.In a state broadcast last month, Zamfara state governor Bello Matawalle asked residents to defend themselves against “killer bandits.
The numbers are always in double digits. These are human beings being slaughtered on a regular and no one seems to be moved? What would it take to stir our government into action? How many more people need to be killed before this impunity is stemmed?
El rufai said they're in for businesses. So it's there family business. Congratulations to them.
Ok 👌
