More facts have emerged on how residents of Birnin Magaji in Zamfara State abducted wives of terrorists in retaliation to a recent kidnapping in the community.
This was confirmed a youth leader of the community to newsmen, who said that the step was taken by the concerned youths due incessant attacks by terrorists on their community in recent times.
“The bandits invaded the farm and threatened the farmers before they took them away.
“These days many people here cannot go to the farm and even in our homes; we are afraid they could come and abduct us for ransom,” he said.
In retaliation, the dwellers of the community intercepted the terrorists’ wives, including a pregnant woman, while they were returning to their hideouts.
