Policeman, others shot dead as bandits abduct 15 students in Zamfara State

Bandits who have been terrrorising Northwest Nigeria especially Zamfara State struck again on Sunday night, killing security operatives, including a policeman, and abducting students of College of Agriculture and Animal Health in Bakura Local Government Area of the State.

A total of 15 students, teacher, wife and two children were abducted in the attack.

Though details of the attack and the abduction of the students including the numbers involved, Aliyu Bakura, Deputy Registrar of the College, confirmed the development to BBC Hausa Service.

According to Bakura, “last Sunday night around 10pm they entered and opened fire and took away 15 students and a teacher and his wife and two children.”

The incident comes at a time when hundreds of students are being held in captivity across the region.

Zamfara is one of the States battling with banditry in the North West.

Both the rich and the poor are at the mercy of the attackers.

Two months ago, Mohammed Ahmed, a member of the Zamfara House of Assembly was gunned down while accompanying his son who was to catch a flight in the airport of a neighbouring Sokoto State.

Two weeks ago, the father of the Speaker of the Assembly, Alhaji Nasiru Muazu Magarya, was abducted alongside some of his family members.

The victims are yet to regain freedom.
