This was confirmed by the youth leader of the community to PRNigeria, who said that the step was taken by the concerned youths due to the 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.
In Zamfara, terrorists’ attacks have been on the rise lately.
In August alone, terrorists kidnapped at least 80 children in the Tsafe Local Government Area of the State.
In another incident, operatives of the Nigerian Police Force and the Nigerian Army said they had organised a search party for eight kidnapped National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members in Zamfara State.
It was learnt that the corps members were travelling in an Akwa Ibom Transport Company (AKTC) bus from Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, to Sokoto State, for the one-year national service, when their vehicle was intercepted by the terrorists.
Impressive indeed. But won't the terrorists retaliate their kidnapped wives?
