Bandits Kill PDP Secretary In Zamfara State

Suspected bandits have reportedly killed the secretary of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State, Alhaji Musa Ille.

It was learnt that the deceased was shot dead by the terrorists in front of his residence in Tsafe on Monday.

A resident in the area when the incident occured, disclosed the development to newsmen on Tuesday.

“The late Musa Ille was one of our good and God fearing neighbors, he was killed him in front of his house,” the resident said.

It is understood that Zamfara is one of states in the Northern region plagued by criminals known as bandits who raid and loot villages, kill residents and burn houses to the ground.

The gangs maintain camps in a huge forest straddling the state, Katsina, Kaduna, and Niger states, and have carried out mass kidnappings of students from schools in recent years.
