Bandits Demand ₦172Million, Food Supplies From 25 Zamfara Villages, Forcing Residents To Flee Homes And Farmlands

Armed bandits led by Danisuhu imposed a ₦172.7 million levy and material contributions like soybeans on 25 villages in Tsafe West, Zamfara State, forcing many residents to flee in fear of violent reprisals.

The targeted villages face brutal attacks for failing to meet demands, worsening the dire situation. A security analyst noted that while security has improved in some areas, rural villages remain vulnerable.

Displaced residents are calling for urgent government intervention, including increased security and permanent posts. The crisis has left hundreds displaced and in need of emergency relief.
