A local of Kairu village, popularly called Lawali Muhammad Kairu, informed DAILY POST in a telephone interview that the names of the affected communities are Kairu, Takalafiya, Kyaram and Katafana towns.

Kairu stated that the outlaws required the amount of N13 million from Kairu neighborhood, N5 million from Takalafiya and N8 million each from Kyaram and Katafana communities.

“The bandits provided an ultimatum of 30 days in a letter written and sent to them in a different way within which they should raise the money or they would unleash fear attacks on the towns,” he stated.

Speaking further, he stated that the majority of villagers in the Kairu neighborhood have actually fled to Maga in Kebbi State for safety.

“As I am talking with you now, 85 percent of our people transferred to Maga town in Kebbi state which is closer to us as IDPs for their security,” he included.

Kairu explained that the bandits had actually released 13 various attacks on Kairu town between last December to date when a number of individuals were abducted.

Remember that earlier this month, the bandits unleashed attacks on eight neighborhoods of Anka and Bukkuyum local government locations of the state.

Lawali Kairu attracted Zamfara State and the Federal Government to deploy more soldiers to the area in order to stop the rising tide of insecurity for peace to thrive.

All efforts to get the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Mohammed Shehu, proved abortive as his line was not reachable.
