Bandits are holding residents as human shields after they were harassed out of their camps by the military fighter jets on Tuesday in Dansadau Emirate of Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
On Sunday, more than 60 people were killed following the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) raids targeting bandits in Mutunji community.
The huge collateral damage was recorded when the bandits targeted by NAF rushed into Mutunji community to shield themselves from the airstrikes.
Residents told newsmen that the criminals on more than three hundred motorbikes rode into Dandalla, and were also regrouping around Dangurgu and Madada communities.
Meanwhile, the state governor, Bello Matawalle, has condoled with the families of victims caught in the Nigeria Air Force’s airstrikes against bandits in Maru LGA of the state.
