Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Some suspected bandits have again attacked Nahuche district in Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State in the wee hours of Friday.<\/p>\n

According to an eyewitness, Malan Abubakar, among those killed was a mobile police officer and a local vigilante leader.<\/p>\n

According to him, two women and two men were abducted by the bandits during the operation.<\/p>\n

Malan Abubakar told DAILY POST that the bandits first invaded a nearby village in Nahuche called Gidan Jan Bula and used motorcycles to kill the vigilante leader of the village after he fought them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey also whisked away my wife and moved her for captivity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said that the bandits later attacked Nahuche police station where they engaged mobile policemen in a gun duel, during which an officer was killed.<\/p>\n

Abubakar added that the bandits later moved to invade the house of Alhaji Makwashe Nhuche, a businessman, saying that the bandits abducted two other persons including a woman.<\/p>\n

According to him, the bandits stormed the area at about 3:00am on Friday and left after 4:00am.<\/p>\n

When contacted for confirmation, the Zamfara State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Shehu Muhammad, could not be reached for comment as his phones were switched off.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent reports that the command usually snubs calls from newsmen to confirm bandits\u2019 attacks.<\/p>\n
