<\/span><\/p>\n

Three people were killed while eight nursing mothers with babies were kidnapped by bandits in the Tauji area of Kanoma North in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

An indigene of the area Mohammed Maisa, who spoke to The PUNCH<\/em> said the incident occurred around 1.40 am on Sunday when the notorious bandits stormed the area in their large number.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maisa said immediately after the bandits who were on motorcycles arrived in the area, they started shooting in order to scare away the people.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey later went from house to house searching for people to kidnap.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey succeeded in kidnapping eight women who are mostly nursing mothers and killed three persons who wanted to escape,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The District Head of the town, Alhaji Ibrahim Nabature (Sarkin Sudan), confirmed the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n

He called on the state government and relevant security agencies to deploy adequate security personnel to the area to avert rampant attacks on the communities.<\/span><\/p>\n

All efforts to contact the spokesperson of the Zamfara State Police Command, Mohammed Shehu, proved abortive as his lines were not connecting.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
