'Terrorists abduct over 80 residents in fresh Zamfara attack'‘Terrorists abduct over 80 residents in fresh Zamfara attack’ They are back in business as usual. All hail the sponsors even if we are pretending we don't know them. It's now back to back. But APC and their slaves are fine. It's no issue for them that the last 3 months had been the worst experience since the word Nigeria was used. Dauda has a lot of work to do in Zamfara. I hope Aliyu Gusau will assist with his wealth of experience in the security circle.
