Twelve vigilantes were killed and four residents were kidnapped during an armed bandit attack on Tuesday in the Sabuwar Tunga community in Adabka ward, Bukkuyum Local Government Area, Zamfara State.
Zagazola Makama, a security analyst, wrote on X on Wednesday night that the attack started when the gunmen entered the area but were first repulsed by local vigilantes.

After severely wounding the vigilantes, the attackers withdrew further into the forest with their victims.
