Abducted Zamfara Worshippers Working On Bandits’ Farmlands (Dailytrust) by ManirBK: 8:36am On Sep 05, 2022
The 44
worshippers
abducted
from a
mosque in
Zamfara
community
last Friday
have been
subjected to
physical
labour on
armed men’s
farmlands,
Daily Trust
has learnt.
Residents
told Daily
Trust that the
bandits had
called to tell
relatives that
the captives
were with
them and
working on
their millet
and sorghum
plantations
but had yet to
demand
ransom.

“Our millet
plantations
are due for
harvest and
the captives
must do the
work for us,”
one of the
bandits was
quoted as
saying by a
resident,
Abubakar
Bukkuyum.
Last Friday,
bandits
abducted
dozens of
worshippers
from a
central
Juma’at
Mosque in
Zugu
community of
Bukkuyum
Local
Government
Area of
Zamfara
State.
Residents
said the
armed men
hid their guns
inside their
clothes and
stormed the
mosque
when the
Imam was
about to start
delivering
sermons and
they asked
those on the
premises of
the mosque
to get inside.
“No one saw
them with
guns and
many people
mistook them
as
worshippers.
Nobody paid
attention to
them
because they
hid their
guns.
“However,
shortly after
they moved
inside the
mosque they
brought out
the rifles and
fired some
shots as a
warning.
“They herded
the
congregants
into the bush
but some of
the
worshippers
managed to
scramble out
of the
mosque to
safety. The
muezzin was
among those
kidnapped
but the Imam
was able to
escape the
assault.
“Some those
who were
outside the
mosque were
also
abducted.
When
contacted for
an update,
the
spokesman
of the police
in the state,
SP
Muhammad
Shehu, said
search and
rescue
operation had
already
commenced
