BREAKING: Bandits Stop Prayer at Zamfara Mosque, Abduct Dozens of Worshipers

Dozens of worshippers at a mosque in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital, have been abducted during an attack by bandits on Tuesday morning.

According to a security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, who shared the incident in a post on X platform, the terrorists attacked the town at around 2am.

Makama wrote: “In the early morning of Tuesday at about 0200hr, bandits sneaked into Gusau Town and abducted several worshippers in a Mosque while they were observing tahajjud (midnight) prayers.”

The police was yet to speak on the incident as at the time of writing this report.
