At least four people were killed on Thursday evening when heavily armed bandits attacked Gwargwaba village in Nahuce District, Bungudu LGA, Zamfara State.
According to security analyst Bakatsine, the attackers stormed the community around 6:00 p.m., setting homes, food stores, and livestock on fire. Four residents trapped inside their houses died in the blaze.
The raid reportedly came after villagers refused to pay illegal levies demanded by the bandits, angering them into a violent retaliation.
