At least 30 people have been killed and several others abducted following a late-night attack by bandits on Dutsin Dan Ajiya village in Anka Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
The assault reportedly occurred around midnight on February 19, 2026, barely two days after the Zamfara State Government unveiled new security hardware and drones as part of renewed efforts to tackle insecurity across the state.
Residents said the gunmen, who arrived on motorcycles, blocked the village entrance and opened fire sporadically on villagers before carrying out the abductions.
The development came on the heels of a similar incident in Arewa Local Government Area of Kebbi State where 33 people were reportedly killed.
Attempts to get a reaction from the Zamfara State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Yazid Abubakar, were unsuccessful as of press time.
