Bandits Kidnap 6 Travellers, Set Vehicles Ablaze In Zamfara by Leobankx(op): 3:03pm On Jan 01, 2025
No fewer than six passengers have been abducted as Armed bandits attacked travellers on the Shinkafi road near Kwanar Jalaf village under the Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

The incident happened on Tuesday morning when the assailants abducted six passengers travelling in a Golf car and set the vehicle ablaze, further heightening fears among residents and commuters in the area.

The attack comes barely a week after notorious bandit leader Bello Turji issued threats to unleash violence on innocent citizens in Shinkafi and Zurmi communities in Zamfara State, as well as Isah and other local communities in Sokoto State in the New Year 2025.

Residents of the area told Channels Television that the armed men blocked the road, forcing the vehicle to stop before carrying out the abductions and torching the car.

Six travellers were abducted and their vehicle was set ablaze, we don’t know if it was Turji group because he had threatened residents of Shinkafi and other local communities around.” A resident who pleaded anonymity for security reasons

Residents of Shinkafi and other areas threatened by the terrorist kingpin have expressed growing concerns over the threat and are calling on the government to take decisive action against the escalating activities of bandit groups in the region.

Efforts to reach the spokesperson of the Zamfara State Police Command, ASP Yazid Abubakar for further details have so far been unsuccessful.

Notice how the bald-headed, unproductive , weak, African vultures, notorious for their selective moral outrage will steer clear of this discussion.

Yet if such events happened in the Southeast, their flock numbering into thousands would descend in droves, disrupting the fragile peace of nairaland.com with their meddling, an embodiment of crass hypocrisy that undermines human and communal progress.

Oga, stop comparing the north with the SE. You cannot be comparing people who said they value cows more than humans to those who understand the sanctity of life.

Imagine them trying to make peace with a terrorist and "begging them to stop killing"

After the attempt to appease him , look at what is happening

The only good terrorist is one that is not alive

Those annoying criminals are simply economy saboteurs. Why setting vehicle that cost millions of naira on fire after kidnapping of the passengers?

It is evidently clear that the Nigerian military is not serious about flushing terrorists out of the country.

Give it to IDF!
By now, the Tuji terrorist of a criminal would have been a forgotten name in that axis.

Spit!

yet those who understand the sanctity of life are known to have killed their daughter and her husband to be. not only that, they mutilated her body and cutting out her private part for the whole world to see. Cannibals telling us about sanctity of life, wonders shall never end.

After Zamfara State was carved out from Sokoto State, the indigenous people were very happy, but the introduction of Sharia law by their former Governor brought pain, violence, death and displacement of indigenous people from their ancestral lands.
