Not less than three thousand residents of four villages in Zamfara state have willingly fled their villages following a declaration of war on them by unknown bandits.

The villages, namely Talli, Dutsin Gari, Mahuta and Munkuru, were deserted by the communities following an encounter between the bandits and the villagers which led to the killing of 15 people.

The bandits were said to have declared war on the communities for daring them.

Ekohotblog learnt that the bandits, who were confronted by the four villages’ residents, could not succeed in abducting anybody due to the large number of people who turned out to defend themselves.

One of the residents who spoke from his hideout pleaded anonymity for his safety told Ekohotblog that the bandits were currently hiding very close to the four villages waiting for the people to return to attack them.
