In a shocking turn of events, residents of Birnin Magaji in Zamfara State have taken matters into their own hands by abducting family members of bandits as a form of retaliation.
This drastic action comes in response to a recent wave of kidnappings carried out by the terrorists in the area. According to a youth leader, the bandits had kidnapped community members while they were working on their farms.
In retaliation, the community’s youths intercepted the wives of the bandits, including a pregnant woman, who were in transit. Currently, negotiations are underway between community leaders and the bandit kingpins in an attempt to resolve the tense situation.
