Bandits have released 70 out of 85 victims kidnapped from Wanzamai village of Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
The victims were kidnapped three weeks ago on farmlands. They are mostly residents of Wanzamai, a community that had suffered series of bandits’ incursions in the past.
While the children went to the bush to fetch firewood, the other adults were kidnapped on farmlands when they went for land clearing in preparation for this year’s cropping season. There are also women among the victims.
A resident, Sani Aliyu, told our correspondent that 70 out of the 85 victims were freed Friday night.
