The bandits’ group, headed by a notorious bandit called Na-Sanda, operated from Jangebe forest in Zamfara’s Talata Mafara Local Government for years. Na-Sanda is himself originally from Jaja in Zurmi Local Government. Bandits from the group had attacked the premises of the girls’ school in the early hours of Friday, February 26, and herded away about 300 girls from their dormitories. The girls were released four days after abduction and it was not clear if payment was made for their release. Kidnappings by groups like that are typically for ransom. “They left with all their families in hundreds of motorcycles,” the source who carved for anonymity said, adding that the gang with about 500 members, travelled in over 300 motorcycles.
