Confirmed facts
Each fact is a sentence from a source that at least two independent outlets report.
The latest attack has renewed concerns over the persistent insecurity in Zamfara State, where residents continue to face killings and abductions by armed bandits.
Naija News reports that the residents said the attackers held the town for more than three hours, moving through the Kofar Zurmi and Old Market areas before retreating.
According to Leadership, a resident, Bello Lauwali, said the vigilantes built clay barriers on the outskirts of the community, where some kept guard until around 3 am and fired warning shots from time to time to ward off attackers.
He said the gunmen sealed off routes into the area while exchanging fire with members of the civilian Joint Task Force (JTF) for a long period, which prevented other security operatives from coming to the rescue for fear of falling into an ambush.
Confirming the attack, the Chairman of Kaura Namoda Local Government Area, Munnir Haidara, said seven members of the civilian JTF lost their lives.
