Forty-two people have been killed by bandits in five communities of Faru district in Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State on Thursday evening. The affected communities are Tsauni, Gudan-Baushi, Gidan-Adamu, Wari and Gudan-Maidawa. An indigene of the area, Malam Buba Faru, said the bandits, who were riding over 100 motorcycles, stormed the communities located few kilometres at the eastern part of Faru town. Shehu stated that the police could not reach the affected communities on time when they were informed of the bandits’ attack due to the road network. “The police personnel tried their best to reach the affected communities on receiving the information that the bandits were there but unfortunately they could not reach the places because of the bad roads,” he said.
