Suspected bandits in Zamfara State have set ablaze houses and farm produce in Ruwan Tofa, Maru Local Government Area and also abducted over 60 persons.
The attack comes a few days after the release of the abducted Jangebe school girls through the state government’s peace initiative.
An eye-witness says half of Ruwan Tofa was razed, and vehicles and shops set ablaze. According to the source, four wives and children from the same family were abducted, leaving behind only a seven year old.
The eye-witness adds that the village head and his entire family have also been abducted. Among them are married women, children and the elderly.
Police in the state say the command is still gathering facts and will come with updates later.
