The Head of the Zamfara State Community Protection Guards (CPG), General Lawal B. Muhammad (rtd) has been shot by daredevil Bandits.
General Muhammad was reportedly shot by the bandits during an attack on motorists at Kucheri village in Tsafe local government area of Zamfara state.
The bandits who blocked the busy Funtua-Tsafe road late evening, also attacked motorists including the General Muhammad.
Didactic Information Hut reports that many passengers were abducted by the bandits during the operation.
General Muhammad is said to be receiving medical treatment at a Hospital in Gusau, the state capital.
“It is confirmed that the bandits shot DG Community Protection Guards and he is currently receiving treatment at Yariman Bakura Specialist Hospital,” a source said.
Didactic Information Hut recalls that this attack follows an earlier one in which the bandits killed at least eight CPG personnel and a commercial driver in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara. The CPG Personnel were ambushed before killing them.
Despite efforts by the government to contain the Bandits, they have continued to unleash audacious attacks on the State and its residents.
