Bandits lock 13 family members inside room, burn them to death in Zamfara

Thirteen members of a family were killed after being locked inside a room and their home was set alight in Gidan Taba community, Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State, according to a report by conflict reporter Bakatsine on X. The victims, identified as Sani Ɗanwawo and his 12 relatives, were reportedly burned to death during the attack on Saturday night.

No one survived the inferno, which was described by Bakatsine as yet another tragic assault on innocent residents in Zamfara State. This incident further highlights the ongoing spate of deadly banditry incidents in the North-West, where armed groups continue to terrorize rural communities, causing loss of life and abduction of others.
