Bandits have again invaded communities in Wanke, near Zamfara State capital Gusau, abducting over 100 people, including women, children, and the elderly.
Among those abducted was the community’s Chief Imam, who was previously released from captivity and was receiving treatment for a leg injury.
This marks the second time the Chief Imam has been abducted, according to local reports.
A survivor spoke to the BBC Hausa Service in an interview monitored on Wednesday, recounting how the affected communities were in turmoil, with residents fleeing out of fear of further attacks.
The police had yet to comment on the incident as at the time of filing report.
