Nine farmers k!lled, others missing as bandits launch attack in Zamfara

At least nine farmers have been k!lled while some others are missing after bandits unleashed attack on farmlands in Gidan Danjumma community, in Birnin Magaji Local Government Area of Zamfara State. A resident of the community, who spoke to newsmen on condition of anonymity for security reasons, said that the gunmen had earlier warned villagers against cultivating their farmlands during the 2026 wet farming season, Guardian reports. According to the source, the farmers ignored the warning from the bandits and went on with their farming. This reportedly resulted in a large number of bandits attacking the farmers. The source said that nine farmers were k!lled instantly, while many others ran into forests. It is suspected that the dath toll may rise because some of those who escaped the attack sustained various degrees of gunshot injuries, others are still missing for after running away into the forests, the source added as per Guardian. According to him, the bandits pursued the fleeing farmers on motorcycles, while they continued shooting sporadically. As at the time I am taking to you, only nine people have been confirmed de@d. It is not clear the fate of many others who flee into the forest because the bandits pursued them while shooting sporadically The source also said that the gunmen have continued to issue warnings against farming and are threatening severe consequences for anyone who refuses to obey their warnings.The post Nine farmers k!lled, others missing as bandits launch attack in Zamfara appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
