Bandits kill man for refusing to allow his daughter marry their member
Marauding bandits in Zamfara have gruesomely killed a man in a village located in the Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State, for allegedly stopping his daughter from marrying a bandit.
A source and resident of the community simply identified as Mallam Rabo, who confirmed the incident to journalists, said that one of the bandits had proposed marriage to a young girl from the village, but that her father vehemently rejected the proposal.
According to him, the teenager’s father decided to give his daughter’s hand in marriage to another man from the village, instead of the bandit.
He said: “After the marriage was contracted, the bandits invaded the community and killed the father of the girl.
“They also asked the husband of the girl to divorce her so that their colleague could marry her.
“They threatened to kill the husband if he did not comply with the directive.
“The husband immediately divorced the wife, and she was remarried to the bandit who took her to the forest.”
He expressed his distress over the prolonged period of terror inflicted upon the community by the bandits.
Rabo wondered why relevant authorities have failed to take any measures to ensure the safety of the residents.
The police command in Zamfara had yet to officially react to the incident prior to filing this report.
