It was gathered that the ex-council boss was shot dead on Sunday night when the bandits attacked Damari community and were shot indiscriminately, forcing residents to run inside the bush.

Many members of the community were also reportedly abducted by the bandits, who stormed the area in large numbers to attack with impunity

Punch quoted an eyewitness saying that the bandits took control of three villages of Damari, Kakangi, and Randagi, all in Birnin Gwari and unleashed terror on the villagers.

“They (bandits) attack these villages with impunity,” he said, calling on the government not to relent in ensuring that their village was safe for living by deploying troops to the area.

The source added that the bandits had yet to reach out to the families of the kidnapped victims.

“The bandits are yet to contact the family of those kidnapped. They stormed the villages on Sunday night, shot indiscriminately and the bullet hit Adam Damari (former Sole Administrator). He was buried on Monday, according to Islamic rites,” he said.

KanyiDaily had also reported how bandits killed nine people, including seven members of the same family during an attack in two local government areas of Igabi and Zaria in Kaduna State.
