Zamfara State Police Command spokesperson Superintendent Shehu Mohammed who confirmed the attack, said bandits attacked Gwaram community, Talatan Mafara Local Government Area of Zamfara State, killing the village head dead and eight others abducted.
He said one of the abducted victims is the wife of the District head, Musa Makeri, who is also the former ward chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
