Dread terrorist Damina kills 11 people, kidnap 100 others

A dreaded terrorist, identified as Damina, has reportedly killed 11 villagers in Taraba State and kidnapped over 100 others in the neighbouring Zamfara State. The incident took place on Friday.

The victims, abducted from Mutunji community, Friday, included women and children.

Damina, also, allegedly demanded N100 million from the natives before he could allow them access to their farms.

A source told BBC Hausa Service that said Damina attacked Mutunji community because the villagers failed to give him N50 million he demanded from them. He had imposed the illegal levy on the villagers as a punishment for reporting his activities to the military.

The source said, “We were trying to gather the money reaching out to people when he, Damina, decided to strike.
“He had also imposed such levy on the other communities. Kwana residents were asked to pay N30 million, people of Sabon Garin Mahuta were asked to gather N20 million while residents of Unguwar Kawo were asked to pay N10 million,” he said.
Chairman of Ussa Local Government Area, Peter Shamwun, confirmed the development incident.

Abdullahi Usman, the spokesman for Taraba State Police Command, also confirmed the report.
