Bandit terrorists armed to the teeth have killed 33 people during attacks that lasted from Friday night till the early hours of Saturday on some communities in three local government areas of Zamfara State.
The terrorists had reportedly stormed the communities on Friday night and conducted house-to-house raids after the residents failed to pay a N40 million levy imposed on them by the criminals.
They also torched houses and injured several others in the affected communities which are Nasarawar Mai Fara in Tsafe LGA, Yar Katsina in Bungudu LGA and Nasarawa village in Bakura LGA.
Premium Times reported that a group of bandits loyal to one Ada Aleru had reportedly imposed the levy on the affected communities and declared they would be attacked if they failed to pay up at the expiration of the deadline.
A journalist from the Tsafe community said the bandits had given the residents Friday as the deadline to pay the levy.
He confirmed that 20 people were killed on Friday, including the Chief Imam of Tsafe, Akilu Dan Malam.
