It is not up to three months after a peace agreement brokered in Zamfara between bandits and the state government, some gunmen on Sunday killed 14 persons and left 10 with gunshot injuries in Karaye village in Gummi Local Government Area.

The attack is considered as the first major breach of agreement between the state government and the bandits was confirmed on Monday by the Zamfara Police Command.

A statement issued by the command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Muhammad Shehu, said the attack occurred on Sunday.

Shehu said that on the 3rd of November, some members of a local vigilante known as “Yan sakai a Hausa dominated group in Bardoki village, attacked and killed nine Fulanis under the suspicion that they were bandits.

Shehu said the command arrested 11 members of the vigilante group suspected of actively participating in the killing of the Fulanis.

He stated, “The incident is being investigated by the State CID Gusau and all the suspects will be charged to court for prosecution in order to serve as deterrent to others.

"But the reprisal attack is what I don't understand" He adde.

“However, combined teams attached to Operation Puff Adder, men of Operation Hadarin-Daji and vigilantes led by the DPO Gummi mobilised to the scene and embarked on extensive bush combing with a view to trailing and arresting the perpetrators.

“Corpses and injured victims were conveyed to the General Hospital Gummi for autopsy and treatment."
