A policeman was killed and several others were injured when bandits stormed a police checkpoint in Tazame village, Zamfara State, on Sunday.
The town of Kwatarkwashi, which lies close to Gusau, the state capital, is less than a kilometer away from the checkpoint.
According to several sources, the criminals rushed the checkpoint on Sunday around 4 a.m. on more than 40 motorcycles.
One of the sources claimed that the bandits burned all the goods they discovered at the checkpoint before speeding away.
“The bandits overpowered the policemen on duty because they exchanged fire with them for some minutes before they overrode the police and set the place on fire.
“I learnt that the remaining policemen ran for their lives. The bandits outnumbered the police, hence, the police could not confront them in gun battle. We are lucky some of the policemen escaped from the scene otherwise the story would have been different by now.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]
