Eleven members of a family were mercilessly burned to death in their home by suspected bandits in Gidan Taba village, Dosara Birnin Kaya Ward, Maradun Local Government Area, Zamfara State. This horrific incident took place last Saturday night, leaving the entire community in shock and fear. The state Police Command's spokesperson, DSP Yazid Abubakar, confirmed the tragic event, stating that the attack was orchestrated by suspected bandits.
The armed group reportedly stormed the house and forced all family members into a single room before setting it alight, resulting in the deaths of everyone inside. The victims were identified as the family of Mallam Muhammadu Sani, a member of the local vigilante group operating in the area. Sani had reportedly refused to allow the bandits to operate freely in the troubled region, prompting the attackers to seek revenge.
