Heightened security presence recorded in Zamfara amid fresh bandit threats

A heightened security presence was recorded on Sunday in Kaura Namoda, Zamfara State, following fresh bandit threats. The family of former lawmaker Tijjani OD was evacuated to Abuja under a heavy security convoy of military and police vehicles. This comes after the abduction of seven students and concerns over notorious bandit leader Kachalla Bello Dansadiya. Journalist Bakatsine criticized the disparity in security protection for ordinary residents versus politically connected individuals.
