Bandits Attack Rini Town In Zamfara, Kidnap 60 Persons In Midnight Raid by KillingIsFun: 12:35am On Aug 21, 2021
Bandits have attacked Rini town in the Bakura Local Government Area (LGA) of Zamfara State.

Eyewitnesses told Channels Television on Friday that the armed men stormed the town at about 2:30am and started shooting sporadically.

While residents were said to have refused to come out of their homes despite heavy gunshots renting the air, the bandits abducted many locals numbering over 60.

The police authorities in Zamfara State confirmed the incident, although they did not give the actual number of residents kidnapped by the bandits.

But the command’s spokesman, Mohammed Shehu, said the police had deployed several tactical operatives in the town with a view to rescuing the abducted persons.

A source said several appeals had been made to the government to provide more security reinforcement for the people of Rini.

The attack on Rini comes barely a week after bandits invaded the College of Agriculture and Animal Science, also in Bakura LGA.

During the attack which occurred at about 11pm on Sunday, the gunmen killed a policeman and two watchmen before they gained entry into the school.

State authorities later confirmed the abduction of 15 students and four staff of the institution who were forcefully taken away by the assailants.

The incident was condemned by the state governor, Bello Matawalle, who assured the families of the victims that they would return safely.

The bandits were said to have contacted the school management to make a demand of N350million as ransom for the victims to be released.

The criminals later released a video in which the students were seen begging the government to heed the demand of their captors who threatened to kill them if the money was not paid.

These northern elites are hypocirites and satanic.

Whenever the terrorist Fulanis kill, destroy and miam in the southern part of the country, they're all rise to defend them; but the same Fulanis are tagged bandits when they strike in the core north.

I don't think Lord Lugard will have a restful sleep in heaven for this cancerous amalgamation.

Another one...

On a serious note the north aren't complaining about the killings or kidnappings happening here and there in their states. I feel we southerners need to learn to mind our business, which is to continue to pursue our safety and collective development.

There's never a time when the north and south were on the same developmental trajectory. The only unfortunately thing is that their ineptitude will affect us due to the devilish constitution that bind us together. While the south continues to slowly but steadily climb up the prosperity ladder, those backward people will continue to eat into our national purse through the federal coffers which has been designed to funnel resources or tax payers monies here to them.

But with aggressive pressure on our respective southern governors and lawmakers, they can start asking questions at the seat of power and challenge the status quo....this is what I believe the southern states should occupy themselves with rather than wasting RIP or any iota of sympathy for a tribe that has chosen to live in the pre-colonial era in this 21st century.

It's wrong not to allow endangered citizens not to carry arms

Just because government promised this people security, they were told not to bear arms Now they bear pains.

I want to be everyone in this forum irrespective of your tribe or religion, let us join hands and make Nigeria great in your own little way this coming election. Although I reside abroad but sincerely i am not happy anytime I read Nigeria's news because little by little it might get to our doorsteps or indirectly or directly affect us if we don't unite as youths or adults and stop these old politicians from 1960 till date. I saw some person clamoring for VP for president. My dear, as long as he is still in APC, nothing will change. Snake wey born snake, na snake them de call am. Please, let's unite and change things. This is not the right time for Oduduwa or Arewa or IPOB things, let us make the desirable change we need. Thanks and God bless you all

Our government is useless....because they cannot raise enough money to fund our police adequately.


Yes, to be honest, Nigerian police gets 1 billion dollars to police 200 million people. NYPD gets 10 billion to police 25 million people.

Also, your average state gets 2 billion to fund its activites for the year...rural development inclusive. That's not a lot of money, and then a large chunk of it disappears into corruption and more of it goes to salaries.

Nigerians don't pay enough in taxes as a whole...no I am not talking about those who do pay taxes...but you guys make up 30% of the taxable population. Our tax to gdp ratio as a nation is 6%, on a state by state basis most states don't reach 3%

Our economy is based on oil, and on selling our exports, and sharing the money. Our main business, North or South, is selling imported stuff to ourselves. We also spend billion subsidizing fuel and power, and due to rising costs of production we cannot sustain that. In short, as we are earning forex, we are losing it in a value larger than what we earn


And at the end of the day, whoever we vote, APC or PDP, won't do anything to change that. Let the APC and PDP try to charge more taxes on cattle rearers, farmers, even hawkers...and you will see Miyetti Allah, IPOB and Afenifere, and Ohaneze out on the streets together...protesting

All we have said here, was said ten, twenty and thirty years ago. We have a security issue, we complain. Actual solutions, you won't discuss....because we are too poor to pay Nigeria a living wage. We don't want to invest in domestic industrial development. We want everything for free...without paying the appropriate taxes, and we live under the flawed impression that oil money can sustain us.

So, as we vote in 2023, and get rid of this useless APC government...yes, Buhari has done nothing much to change things...and has made things worse...the fact is, we are going to vote another government like Buhari into power...and once again, the people will be split into two camps....prasiesingers and cursers. And neither of them won't face the fact...that Nigeria does not have enough money, and we have to realistically solve that problem first...before we can see improvements.

Nigeria must get off oil dependency.
