Description Numbering 150, unidentified armed bandits invaded three villages in Maru LGA of Zamfara State, killing at least 20 people. 12 people were killed in Tungar Rakumi village while four were killed in Mallamawa and Kangarawa villages respectively. The attack is apparently a retaliation after three suspected cattle rustlers were killed in a mob action in Birnin Magaji LGA the previous week. The attacks occurred during the overnight hours.
