Suspected Bandits in Zamfara State reportedly killed a mobile police operative and have also gone away with his service rifle in the Adabka village, Bukkuyum Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
According to a security and counterinsurgency expert, Zagazola Makama on his verified X account (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “The incident occurred on Tuesday at about 11:44 a.m. when the officer, deployed from Mopol 15, Ilorin, left his duty location in Adabka en route to Tibis village to purchase essential supplies.
“He was reportedly attacked at the outskirts of Adabka by armed bandits concealed in the surrounding bushes.
“The attackers reportedly opened fire on the officer, killing him instantly before carting away his service riot gun.
“Field teams deployed to the scene recovered the body of the fallen operative, which was evacuated to Adabka Primary Health Care Centre for documentation.
“The mode of attack aligns with operational tactics used by bandit factions linked to the Dan-Karama Gwaska and Dansadau networks, known for precision ambushes and rapid withdrawal.”
