Nigeria: Terrorists Raid Zamfara Town, Prince Kidnapped

Islamic scholar Malam Murtala was killed and seven residents kidnapped Monday morning when terrorists attacked the town of Bungudu  in Zamfara state. 

 Bungudu is one of the more dangerous areas in Zamfara as terrorists and other outlaws roam freely and attack communities at will. 

 Among those kidnapped are Abdurrahman Hassan, eldest son of Emir of Bungudu; Abubakar Sarkin-Fada, former government official; Amina Salisu, married; and four other women. According to reports, terrorists entered the city just after midnight and began shooting indiscriminately, local informant Ibrahim Bungudu said over the phone. 

 “My father was kidnapped from our home during an attack. The bandits broke straight into the house and fled with him. They didn’t take anyone,” said Babangida Sarkin-Fada, whose father, Mr. Sarkin-Fada, was among those kidnapped.

 Another resident, Zaharadeen Sani, accused the whistleblowers of being involved in the operation was accused of providing information that would help terrorists kidnap residents or travelers and attack communities.

 in the area, kidnapping people were without being arrested.The kidnapped people came from different regions. How did they know the homes of the abductees? May God punish these whistleblowers,” Sani said. 

 According to local sources, the terrorists have not yet contacted the families for negotiations. 

 Federal Legislature representing Maru/Bungudu constituency Abdulmalik Zubairu said he committed attacks on interior areas and cities became of concern.

 “I call on the federal and state governments to take the necessary measures and  end  these senseless attacks.” The measures taken so far are not sufficient. As a representative, I will continue to do my best to find solutions to  these criminals’ activities,” Zubairu said. .

 After contacting Zamfara State Police spokesman Yazid Abubakar, he said he would return to the state and promised to return.

 “I will now return to the state. I  have no information about the attack. I will gather information and contact you,” Abubakar said over the phone, but had not done so at the time. 

 Zamfara, like many other states in the Northwest, has witnessed a range of terrorist activities for more than a decade.
