BREAKING: Zamfara Vigilantes Ambush Bandits, Neutralize 30, Seize 16 Motorcycles 

At least 30 suspected armed bandits loyal to a notorious warlord, Dan Rani, were neutralized on Thursday in a successful ambush by local vigilante operatives, popularly known as Yansakai, near Dansadau town in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State, PRNigeria reports.

According to intelligence sources, the confrontation occurred at about 2:00 p.m., when the armed group was reportedly en route to launch an attack on a nearby village. The vigilante group, acting on credible information, laid a strategic ambush at the outskirts of Dansadau, leading to a fierce gun battle.

The vigilantes, according to Zagazola, were said to have overpowered the assailants, killing over 30 of them on the spot and seizing 16 motorcycles used by the criminal gang.

“The bandits were taken by surprise, and the vigilantes fought with remarkable bravery and tactical coordination,” a source said.

In a separate but related development, the corpse of a local Community Protection Guard (CPG) member, Ashiru Dawa, who had earlier been abducted by suspected bandits, was discovered in a bush near Gidan Kano area around 6:00 a.m. the same day.

His body was recovered by security forces, taken to a hospital for an autopsy, and subsequently released to his family for burial in line with Islamic rites.

Zamfara State, which has been plagued by banditry and rural violence, continues to witness intensified local and security-led efforts aimed at curbing the menace and restoring peace to affected communities.
