Armed bandits have reportedly obstructed the Gusau-Funtua road near Magazu village in Zamfara State’s Tsafe Local Government Area, halting movement along this key route.
Security personnel are actively involved in a gunfight with the attackers as they work to reopen the road for travelers.
Banditry has been a particularly big problem in Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna and neighbouring States including the biggest State by landmass in Nigeria, Niger.
