Three people were killed on Wednesday evening after armed bandits launched a deadly attack in Danjibga community of Tsafe Local Government Area in Zamfara State.
The incident was contained in a post shared on X by security analyst Bakatsine on Thursday.
According to Bakatsine, the attack started after a group of bandits walked into a local shop and attempted to take Rufaida Yoghurt worth ₦3,500 without paying.
When the shop owner insisted on payment, the men reportedly became angry, dropped the goods, and left.
Bakatsine said the group returned less than an hour later with weapons and opened fire, killing three people.
