Gunmen suspected to be bandits armed with deadly weapons have killed over 40 people, mostly members of the outlawed Yansakai groups in Kangon Farun Mana and Yardoka villages in Magami district of Gusau Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

 

According to one Aminu Magami, an eyewitness, the dreaded gunmen stormed the communities at the early hours of Wednesday and started unleashing terror on the villagers.

 

Magami explained that most of the people who were killed were members of the outlawed Yansakai group who attempted to repel the attack by the bandits.

 

“One of those killed by the bandits was a close friend of mine; we had discussion few hours before he was killed,” he added.
