Bandits on motorcycles invade mosque at Jummat, kill 15, injure others

Not less than 15 persons were reportedly killed when terrorists opened fire at worshipers last Friday at Jummat prayers in the North West of Zamfara State.

It was learnt that the incident occurred in Ruwan Jema town in Bukkuyum Local Government Area of Zamfara, when the peaceful worshipers were observing their prayers.

A source said “The terrorists, who rode on motorcycles invaded the mosque and opened fire on worshippers, leading to the death of 15 persons on the spot, while many other victims sustained various degrees of injuries.”

This is coming as the Nigerian military launches massive bombardment of identified hideouts of the terrorists in Zamfara State.

The police are yet to confirm the said attack.
