A lawmaker representing Kaura Namoda and Birnin Magaji federal constituency of Zamfara State, Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji, has narrated a harrowing experience where bandits allegedly fed newborn twins to dogs.
Jaji, who previously chaired the House Committee on National Security and Intelligence, stated this while speaking to journalists.
According to Jaji, a pregnant woman was abducted from a community in Zamfara and gave birth to twins while in captivity. The bandits threw the newborns to dogs, which ate them. “A pregnant woman was abducted. She gave birth to twins after getting back to twins while she was in captivity. Then the leader of the bandit took the twins. Then he threw them to his dog. The dog ate the twins one by one, where are we?” Jaji lamented.
Jaji also told a story of how an epileptic boy was killed by bandits because he fell during a seizure. “The bandit demanded the boy be brought to him to be executed. The father, out of desperation, begged his son to surrender to save the rest of the family. The boy agreed and was shot dead,” he said.
Jaji urged the federal government to do more in tackling the rising insecurity in Zamfara, which has crippled governance in many parts of the state. He lamented that President Bola Tinubu’s administration was failing in its promise to secure lives and property in the country.
Zamfara State has been hit by different waves of insecurity, leading to kidnappings, deaths, and the destruction of farms and property. In April, over 20 people were reportedly killed in Gobirawa Chali in Maru Local Government Area of the state by rampaging bandits.
