Bandits write 9 communities in Zamfara, make crucial demand
In a previous report by Legit.ng, bandits had written to nine communities in Bukkuyum local government area of Zamfara state asking them to pay their levies or face deadly attacks.
The bandits that authored the letters were those operating in Gando forest. The letters were written in the Hausa language and addressed to the different communities.
Each of the letters had the name of the community on the top and the money it is expected to pay. The letters also contained a mobile phone number.
