The onslaught against Bandits: Troops gallantry laudable — Zamfara Govt
An eyewitness told the Nigerian tribune during the funeral prayer in Kaura Namoda that, the bandits jumped into the Nazifi’s House asking him to open his room, but he resorted to shouting calling for assistance.
He said the hoodlums went back, Nazifi called his neighbor Bashiru and they went out of their houses discussing the issue not knowing that the bandits were still in the area hidden in an uncompleted building, and they subsequently opened fire on them.
When contacted, the Rector Federal Polytechnic Kaura Namoda, Yahaya Muhammad Bande described the attack as unfortunate, barbaric, and condemnable.
