Bandits led by ‘Bakin Malam’ attack Makera village, abduct residents

Published on March 27, 2025 at 03:51 PM

A group of armed bandits, led by a notorious kingpin known as “Bakin Malam,”; attacked Makera Village in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State, abducting an unspecified number of residents and looting valuables, including eight motorcycles and food supplies.

The attack, which occurred in the early hours of March 26, was reportedly a reprisal following the recent arrest and elimination of another bandit leader, Hassan Dantawaye, also known as “Na’bamamu”;, by troops of Operation Fansan Yamma (OPFY).

This was contained in a post by security analyst Zagazola Makama on X on Thursday.

Makama noted that the assailants stormed the village and fled before security forces could engage them.

“The bandits avoided any confrontation with the troops deployed to the area,”; Makama stated.

Makera and surrounding communities in Zamfara have experienced repeated attacks by armed groups.
