‘Attack lasted nearly two hours’Aminu Magaji, a former chairman of Bakori Local Government Area, provided details of the Shuwaki attack in an interview broadcast by JBC Hausa. According to him, security personnel deployed in at least five vehicles but were unable to intercept the attackers or rescue the captives. “The security personnel went there and made every effort, but they could not overpower them and stop them from taking the people away,” he said. The latest attacks occurred days after a major confrontation between suspected bandits and security personnel in Guga on 26 July. It said joint security personnel killed more than 40 suspected bandits, including some commanders, while five hunters died during the confrontation.
