At least 30 people have been
reported dead following fresh
attacks by gunmen in Birnin-
Magaji local government area
of Zamfara, the News Agency
of Nigeria reports.
The Chairman of the council,
Muhammad Gusami, said on
Sunday that the attacks took
place in Kokeya and Chigama
villages in the area.
Mr. Gusami said the gunmen
invaded Kokeya village with
motorcycles and killed two
persons, set some houses
ablaze and carted away
animals mostly cows.
He said that the “unfortunate
incident” had been reported
to the Divisional Police Officer
of Birnin-Magaji as well as
soldiers on surveillance of the
zone.
According to him, while this is
going on, the attackers
returned the next day and
invaded the neighbouring
village of Chigama.
“The gunmen, however, killed
more than 30 persons whose
bodies were still being
recovered from the bush,’’ he
said.
The chairman said the
corpses have been taken to
Birnin-magaji General
Hospital.
He said the Chigama attack
took place shortly after three
police trucks just left the area
when they noticed that peace
had returned to the area. He
added that the armed bandits
also set several houses on
fire on their second attack on
Chigama village.
The News Agency of Nigeria
did not state when the
attacks occurred.
Ibrahim Sani, a witness, said
that the gunmen who invaded
Kokeya came while the
villagers were closing from
their prayers.
“The attackers shot
sporadically in the air which
prompted the people of
Chigama to intervene.
“That may have provoked the
gunmen to come back so as
to punish Chigama people for
trying to prevent the attack
the previous day.
“While three persons were
killed from Kokeya and
Chigama on the first day in
Kokeya, more than 50 were
killed on the second day in
Chigama while several
houses were burnt,” Mr. Sani
said.
The Police Public Relations
Officer, Sanusi Amiru, who
confirmed the attack, said
that the police and army have
moved to the area and
normalcy had been restored.
