Although police authorities in the state are yet to confirm the incident, sources said the terrorists were fleeing Zamfara due to heavy military bombardment that led to the killing of over 100 bandits within the week.
A resident of Tsafe, Ahmad Kucheri, said the fleeing bandits were abducting people they saw along their way out of the state.
He said most of the people abducted were picked inside their various farms, some children that were fetching firewood and local fertilizers in the bush, and some workers in local mining sites.
“The bandits were moving from Sububu Forest to Birnin-Gwari side. So, they see people in the bush fetching firewood, they picked them, some children that are picking local fertilizers, some that are doing mining work, they gathered all of them.
