Bandits kill 6 Civilian JTF in Zamfara Also yesterday, Vice Chairman, Shinkafi Local Government Area
of Zamfara State, Sani Galadima, disclosed that
bandits on Sunday attacked and killed six members of the Civilian Joint
Task Force in the local government area. Galadima made this known when he
received Minister of Interior, Abdurrahman Dambazau, who was on a visit to the
state as part of efforts by the Federal Government to find sustainable
solutions to the security challenges in the state.
He said:
“Six members of Civilian JTF were attacked and killed
yesterday (Sunday) by the bandits after receiving their payments from Shinkafi
town and were on their way back to their villages.
“Even yesterday, these bandits sent a letter to the
district head of Shinkafi town that they were coming to attack Shinkafi town.
This ugly situation is very disheartening; every day we pay millions of naira
as ransom to these bandits. We really need government’s urgent support to end
this problem.”
