Several bandits members were said to have been killed in a face-off between two rival bandits’ groups in Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
A source who is an indigene of Shinkafi town, Musa Suleiman, who spoke with newsmen on Wednesday said that the fight broke out between the two rival groups near Maniya village as a result of the killings of Turji’s relatives who were on their way to Kano for medical treatment.
One group, according to Suleiman, was led by Bello Turji, while the other group was led by another bandits’ kingpin called Dullu.
He said Turji’s relatives were attacked and killed along Shinkafi-Kaura-Namoda Road on their way to Kano.
He added that the two warring groups fought for two days between Monday and Tuesday where both sides recorded several casualties and Dullu was killed during the encounter.
