On Friday, some villagers from Kwatarkwashi district in Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State killed a suspected bandit on the Gusau-Zaria route.
Speaking with The Guardian on condition of anonymity, a villager said community members identified the accused bandit as one of the suspects terrorizing the region, hunted him down, and killed him.
According to him, after murdering the robber, the villagers found two sophisticated firearms in his possession.
“The body of the murdered bandit was abandoned along Gusau-Zaria highway even as residents went about their legitimate business”, the official said.
Recall that a few days before, two suspected informants were arrested in the Kura area, only a few metres away from the site of the incident.
