Suspected bandits have reportedly killed over 30 members of the local vigilantes otherwise known as Yan Sakai in a gunfight near Gidan Dan Inna community in Auki district, Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

 

A resident of the community whose brothers were killed, Idris Ambomade narrated the incident to DAILY POST in Kaduna on Tuesday.

 

He said bandits were attacking communities, including Gidan Inna village and were rustling cows and other animals, just as they shot dead some aggrieved members of the community whose animals were being rustled.

 

Pained by the unlawful display by the bandits, the head of the vigilante group known as Yan Sakai in the community, Umar Sanielema mobilised his team to go after the bandits, to at least recover their cows from bandits.
