A member of the guard unit attached to the Emir of Zamfara, Alhaji Abdulkadir Ibrahim Bello, has reportedly died after bandits ambushed the entourage along the Mayanchi–Anka Road in Zamfara State.

According to information shared on X by security analyst Bakatsine, the attack occurred on Sunday afternoon when armed bandits targeted members of the Emir’s guard, locally known as Dogarai, while they were travelling along the highway.

According to the report, one of the guards, identified as Jamilu, who was known for traditionally holding the Emir’s ceremonial umbrella during official outings, sustained gunshot wounds during the ambush.

The report said Jamilu was rushed to Gusau General Hospital for treatment but later died from his injuries.

“This tragic incident once again shows the growing insecurity along our highways and the dangers faced daily by citizens,” the security expert said.

The circumstances surrounding the attack were not immediately clear, and efforts made by SaharaReporters to reach the police authorities in the state failed at the time of filing this report.

The latest attack highlights growing concerns over insecurity on highways across Zamfara State, where residents and travellers frequently face threats from bandit groups.

Over the years, several communities in the state and across Nigeria’s north-west have suffered repeated attacks, kidnappings and ambushes attributed to bandits operating in rural and forested areas.

Security analysts and residents have continued to raise concerns over the persistent attacks on major roads, calling for stronger measures to protect travellers and local communities.

When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

The same stand Adeyinka Grandson gave on the death of Fasoranti's daughter is where Tinubu, the leader of the Yoruba Conservatives stands. Please see Tinubu's video below. pic.twitter.com/COhiSvabqW

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

You won't tolerate this if someone said the same about your hometown, so be more symphatetic and drop the politics and tribalism for once.

(I'm not an APC or yoruba, nor do I support Obi or tinubu, so don't go there)

I pass through the same route three days ago and we even had a stop over at Maradun before proceeding. What I noticed is aside from the illegal gold mining that have dotted the nooks and crannies of Mayanchi, and maybe a semblance of life in Gusau running down to Funtua in Katsina there's practically nothing to write home about Zamfara state...

In this life, Before you start any trouble PLEASE have a contingency plan to end that trouble. Never make the mistake to be so desperate that you create a problem that eventually becomes more powerful than you. Don't create a monster you can't control.

So the USA was right about Chinese illegally mining in North 🤔

What happened to your government? Why isn't Abuja funding the police better?
