Barely two days after gunmen killed three farmers and abducted several others on the outskirts of Janbako in Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State, armed bandits have launched another attack on the same community.
The latest assault, which occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, claimed the life of one resident and left another injured.
Eyewitnesses said the attackers stormed Janbako in large numbers, shooting sporadically and causing panic before retreating into the bush.
The renewed violence follows Sunday\u2019s attack on farmers outside the community, where three people were killed, one injured, and several others abducted while working on their farmlands.
A local source confirmed that the assailants arrived on motorcycles and opened fire on unsuspecting residents before whisking some victims away.
Confirming the incident, security analyst Bakatsine wrote in a post on X:
