NSCDC Loses Two Operatives during Gunbattle with Zamfara Bandits

On the 28th October 2021 at about 12:00 hours , a group of armed bandits invaded a location at Shinkafi/ Kaura Namoda Road Zamfara State where about 5 of our Officers were on a Joint Taskforce Operations.

At the process TWO( 2) of the officers of NSCDC Zamfara State Command were killed by the bandits after a prolonged gun battle while scores of the bandits were neutralized by the officers.

It is unfortunate that we lost these brave and gallant officers. The corps however is poised to carry out her duties and support the Government of Zamfara State in combatting crimes.

Please, I therefore call on general public to disregard this mischief maker that pens unfounded stories and rumours.
Our condolences to the families that lost these two gallant officers.

ZAMFARA POLICE COMMAND REFUTES DAILY POST REPORT ON KILLING OF 20 SECURITY OPERATIVES BY BANDITS ALONG SHINKAFI ROAD.

URGES MEDIA TO VERIFY INFORMATION BEFORE REPORTING.

The attention of Zamfara State Police Command has been drawn to misleading report published by Daily Post Online, that “no fewer than 20 operatives of Nigeria Security agencies have been reportedly butchered in Shinkafi LGA of Zamfara State and bodies set ablaze by the notorious bandits operating in the state”.

The Command wishes to state that, the report was inaccurate, and was published by the said media in an attempt to create fear and panic into the minds of the citizens.

What happened was that, on 28th October 2021, Joint Police /Civil Defence Operatives deployed along K/Namoda – Shinkafi Road to stem the tide of banditry, kidnapping and other heinous crimes were ambushed by suspected armed bandits who came in large number. The operatives who were always at red alert engaged the hoodlums to an extensive gun duel that lasted for hours. Some of the assailants were neutralised while others escaped with possible gun shot wounds. Unfortunately, A Police Operative and two (2) Civil Defence Personnel paid the supreme price and their corpses were evacuated and burried accordingly.

The Commissioner of Police while deploying reinforcement of Police Tactical operatives to the area, reiterates the continuous commitment and resilience of the Police to rid the State of all activities of criminal elements.

In view of the above, the Command urges members of the public to ignore the outrageous number reported by the Daily Post Online, and continue to be security conscious while going about their legitimate business.

Similarly, Media organisations are also enjoined to always verify information from appropriate authority before publication.

Zamfara State Command,
