The bandits carried out coordinated attacks on the villages before a joint security team confronted them.
No fewer than 50 persons were killed on Friday afternoon when bandits attacked three villages in the Bakura Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

A former councillor told Premium Times that the gunmen attacked Sabon Garin Damri, Damri and Kalahe villages, around 2:30pm on Friday.
He was quoted as saying, “I was in the main town when the bandits entered Sabon Garin Damri. We suddenly saw people running towards us. Then we started hearing sporadic gunshots. I was miraculously saved.”

According to him, the bandits carried out coordinated attacks on the villages before a joint security team confronted them.

Another resident, Mu’azu Damri, told the newspaper that the number of casualties would have been more if the security agents didn’t confront the bandits.

“I’ll have to personally applaud them (security agents), though I believe they should have come earlier because if they came at the right time, they would have saved a lot of people. But their arrival helped because the number would have been more than that,” he said.

Damri also said the intervention of the military forced the bandits to flee leaving behind the livestock, food items, and other things they had looted from residents.

While Damri said the bandits killed 48, people, multiple sources confirmed that the casualty was 56.

"We counted 56 people,” the councillor said. “In Damri, only three people were killed; a girl and two other men but the remaining were all killed in Sabon Garin Damri and Kalahe. Some of them were not residents of the two communities. They were people who came from nearby villages to celebrate Eid El Fitr with their relatives” he said.

Another resident of Bakura Town, Usman Lauwali, also said 56 people were confirmed dead by residents of the three communities.

He said those who were wounded were receiving treatment at the General Hospital, Bakura.

A police officer who spoke on the condition of anonymity told the newspaper that they were aware of the situation.

“We’re aware but you can wait for an official statement. I know that a strong reinforcement has been sent to Bakura and Talata Mafara axis this morning. The CP may even visit the communities later,” he said.

Heavensent01:
you will know this Op is not more than 20yrs when he's wishing the evil happening in North, happen in East



is just a matter of time, your dream of terrorism is already happening in East, empty head

Tranquillity360:
That you enemies of East are wishing us will never happen but only that we wish ourselves,which is freedom.


Your evil Nigeria government killed hundreds of unarmed youths protesting it didn't stop the agitation.

Do you think killing and beheading securities men just to blackmail agitators will stop our quest.

naijapips04:


How do you know the government killed the youths? Did they claim responsibility?

colorsofrainbow:

And we shouldn't report them as well. As in the lives of the massacred victims aren't important? Or is Zamfara not part of your ONENIGERIA? or are you waiting till the ragtag Islamic terrorists get closer to Igboland?

Stop deceiving yourself and yourself alone. Nobody is comparing anything but focusing on only what's happening in SE especially with idiotic propaganda to tag any criminality to ipob is stale ofcourse which isn't taken seriously anymore.
Your hypocrisy is worst than the crimes committed in SE by those criminals.

Tranquillity360:
Of course on many occasions.
Sometimes they will claim to have clash with peaceful protesters.

How can protesters with flag and army with Aks clash?

I know you know but just trying to defend evil that may reach your side one day provide you remain in Nigeria.



Look I used to love Nigeria army, and while growing up I wished to be one. But you know is not all we wishes happeneds.now I'm glad Where I am.

For that act of killing unarmed Igbo youths,I now hate Nigeria Terrorists army.


Death to them all.

Tranquillity360:

Golan007:

Buckeyemedia1:
Are you a member of ipob or massob?

Frigga13:
This is the second thread by IPOB and this op on this topic

IPOB is a shameless and foolish organization that brought violence to Biafralqnd .. using “ Biafra “ to scam igbos with violence and dead

Today IPOB is competing and comparing what’s happening in the north to Biafra .. is it that they wish North on igbos or that they’re yet to unleash another level of jihadist violence

Biafra is a spirit ..

IPOB is an organization scamming igbos .. in the name of Biafra

IPOB is not Biafra ..

A useless organization that has betray its people..

Viva Biafra ..
