Zamfara State Police Command has confirmed that three people (worshippers) were kidnapped, and one rescued after suspected bandits attacked a mosque.

This was contained in a statement released by the Command’s spokesman, ASP Yazid Abdullahi.

According to the statement: “On 29 February 2024, at about 05:30 am, unknown armed men suspected to be armed bandits with sophisticated weapons surreptitiously sneaked into a Juma’at Mosque in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State with the intent to perpetuate massive abductions.”

“However, the worshippers managed to escape, except three elderly persons who were later abducted to an unknown destination.”

“Upon receipt of the information, quick response of the Command’s tactical teams mobilized and went into a search and rescue mission.”
