Over 100 villagers from Jirrawa community in Kaura-Namoda Local Government Area of Zamfara on Saturday besieged the Government House in Gusau, the capital, with a dead body alleged to have been killed by bandits earlier in the day in the village.
He said the deceased was just recovering from a gunshot wound inflicted on him when the bandits attacked the village four months ago during which Mr Shafiu’s father was murdered. “Shafiu refused to run and when the others numbering over a hundred arrived, they opened fire and killed him instantly, this is his remains that we brought here for the governor to see and know that this peace initiative is not working for us,” he said.
