Hunters Rescue Woman, Children After Bandits Killed Husband In Kebbi
The husband was killed because the woman refused to marry a member of the bandits.
Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State– local hunters in Kebbi State have rescued a distraught woman and her two children from the depths of a forest, where they had been stranded after the husband was killed by bandits.
It was gathered that the husband was killed because the woman refused to marry a member of the bandits.
Ambassador Musa Hussein Rambo, the State Commander of Nigeria Hunters and Forest Security, disclosed this at the press center in Government House Birnin Kebbi that the woman and her children were found in the forest between Fakai and Koko areas of the state.
“She narrated to us how her husband was killed because she refused to marry a member of the gang. Luckily, we were able to apprehend the gang member who wanted to marry her forcefully in the forest,” he said.
He said that they also discovered the decomposing body of another woman and several graves where some kidnapped victims were buried in the forest.
He added that the members of the hunter and forest security have been working with other security agents to tackle banditry and other criminalities in the state.
He, however, called on the president and leadership of the National Assembly to ensure that their enabling bill, which he said had gone through the legislative proceedings, is signed into law.
