Suspected bandits on Sunday opened fire on the motorcade of the Zamfara governor, Bello Matawalle, who was on his way to condole with victims of a previous attack on a community in Gusau Local Government.

The witnesses said the governor’s convoy came under attack on Sunday evening while he was enroute Lilo community to sympathise with victims of the attack on Saturday.

The state government had earlier, on Monday, issued a statement which said the governor and his team were the ones who went after the attackers and not the other way round.

During the attack on the governor’s convoy on Sunday, the bandits, taking advantage of the bushy terrain, opened fire on the motorcade, a source said.

The source, who said he was unsure of the number of casualties, said the governor’s security details quickly returned fire and were able to protect and evacuate their principal.

God bless you. The youth they failed to give a future will hunt them to the darkest part of the world.
It is coming.

Bandits or terrorists Let's try and be objective in news reporting to help make Nigeria a safe nation please

why am I thinking that the defeated governor may have some sort of affiliation with this issue of bandit attacks in zamfara

any how sha, make I just, maintain my lane

The heat is moving closer to the right direction

What else do you expect from the privileged and emboldened marauders?

After successfully sacking and kidnapping Monarchs, they stepped up to Local Government Chairmen. It is natural for them to aim for a bigger 'fish' hence the attack on the governor.

The monster the North birthed and nurtured seems to have gone out of control and is rready to consume the region.
