The Zamfara community mourns the tragic loss of one of its revered Islamic clerics, Liman Hassan Mada, who was brutally murdered by suspected armed bandits on Tuesday evening. Sources reveal that the bandits initially invaded Mada weekly market, terrorizing the innocent public before targeting the esteemed cleric and forcibly taking him to an unknown destination.
Reports indicate that the bandits transported the cleric to the outskirts of Mada, where they allegedly carried out the heinous act of slaughtering him. The news of his untimely demise has sent shockwaves throughout the region, prompting widespread grief and outrage among the local populace.
The funeral prayer for the late cleric is scheduled to take place at 11:00 am on Wednesday, in his hometown of Mada. As the community prepares to bid farewell to a beloved figure, questions loom over the escalating violence perpetrated by bandits in the region.
This tragic incident comes on the heels of a recent deadly attack on innocent travelers along the Kucheri-Magazu federal highway, linking Zamfara State with neighboring Katsina State. Additionally, another assault targeted commuters along the Danbaza-Maradun route, further underscoring the growing security concerns in the area.
Efforts to reach the Zamfara police spokesperson for comment were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report. As investigations into this senseless act of violence continue, the community remains united in mourning and calls for swift justice for the perpetrators.
