This comes a few weeks after bandits embarked on mass killings of no fewer than 200 people in Bukkuyum and Anka local government areas.
Bandits terrorising Gando Forest in Bukkuyum Local Government Area of Zamfara State have written letters to nine communities asking them to pay their levies or face deadly attacks.
All the letters carried the same contents except the title of the town and amount the bandits are demanding. The palace source, who craved anonymity, said the monarch had reached out to the Emir of Bukkuyum on the issue. “Some of our people were kidnapped by bandits in November last year and after payment of ransom, they released them and sent them with the letters for delivery to the district head,” he noted.
