A video has surfaced online where a Nigerian man breaks down in tears as the Zamfara State Government budgeted N1 billion for the construction of cemeteries across 14 local government areas amid ongoing bandit killings.
An attack occurred on March 28, 2026, at about 10:30 pm, when a group of armed bandits wielding AK-47 rifles attacked Dangoro village via Nahuche District.
Gunmen killed three people and set several houses and silos ablaze in Dangoro village, Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
The N1billion allocation is contained in the state’s approved budget for the 2026 fiscal year and was captured under the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
The budgetary provision comes against the backdrop of recurring violent attacks across several parts of the state.
It was gathered that the attack occurred along a rural route linking Maga Market to Kyaram village. At least five people were confirmed dead, while several others were still unaccounted for.
In a related incident, SaharaReporters earlier reported on Saturday, January 31, that at least four residents of Gwargwaba village in the Nahuce District of Bungudu Local Government Area were killed on Thursday, January 29, 2025, when terrorists suspected to be bandits attacked the community.
During the attack, the assailants reportedly set several houses on fire. SaharaReporters gathered that the incident occurred around 6pm when heavily armed attackers stormed the village.
The wave of killings has continued to spark widespread outrage among residents. In July 2025, communities within Gusau Local Government Area staged a massive protest, voicing frustration over what they described as relentless attacks and abductions by bandits.
The demonstrators, drawn from more than 30 communities, lamented the deteriorating security situation, noting that villages including Mada, Ruwan Bore, Fegin Baza, Bangi, Lilo, Wonaka, and Fegin Mahe were repeatedly targeted. They further alleged that as many as 100 people were being killed daily across the affected areas.
Meanwhile, reacting to reports of the ₦1 billion allocation for cemeteries across 14 LGAs amid ongoing bandit killings in Zamfara, a Nigerian man broke down in tears, expressing deep frustration and disbelief over the state of the country.
