Some suspected bandits armed with deadly weapons have invaded Sakajiki community in Kaura Namoda local government area of Zamfara state and killed some security operatives.

A source said, the bandits entered into Sakajiki town around 3;30pm on Tuesday and invaded a security formation based in the town.

“Immediately they entered the town, they went straight to the security base and started firing gun-shots at them. They killed one security personnel at the base and shot at another one at a different location within the town”

“The security operatives had fired back immediately and luckily for them, the military operatives had brought in powerful re-enforcement and engaged the bandits in a very deadly operation.”.

According to our source, the security operatives had succeeded in killing huge number of them, as residents said they have seen the corpses of the bandits being evacuated out of Sakajiki town.

“As we speak, residents of Sakajiki town are moving to safer places as women and children are all over the streets of Kaura Namoda and some have left to other local governments where they have relations, and it seems due to the fear of reprisal no one will make the mistake of staying within Sakajiki town.

Zamfara police Spokesperson SP Shehu Muhammad confirmed the incident and said more reinforcement has been sent to support the ongoing confidence building operation in the area.

The successes recorded according to Shehu were as a result of the prompt response of the joint forces after receiving distress calls from the community.
