BREAKING: Bandits launch attack on Zamfara Capital Gusau, kidnap scores of Muslim worshippers
On Tuesday morning, terrorists stormed Gusau, in Gusau Local Government Area of Zamfara State, and kidnapped numerous Muslim worshippers.
It was gathered that the terrorists stormed the town in the early hours of Tuesday and abducted a yet-to-be-confirmed number of Muslim worshippers who were observing midnight prayers in a mosque.
A security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, who shared the incident in a post on X platform said the terrorists attacked the town at around 2am.
Makama wrote, “In the early morning of Tuesday at about 0200hr, bandits sneaked into Gusau Town and abducted several worshippers in a Mosque while they were observing tahajjud (midnight) prayers.”
SaharaReporters made several efforts to confirm the incident from the Zamfara State Police Command but the efforts failed as the Public Relations Officer of the Command, ASP Yazid Abubakar, neither answered calls made to his phone number nor responded to a text message sent to him till the time of filing this report.
