More than twenty persons have been killed in Bilbis, a community in Zamfara State's Tsafe Local Government Area, by armed bandits operating in the Northwest zone. 

According to information obtained by DAILY POST, over seven community members were taken to Tsafe General Hospital after suffering gunshot wounds of varying degrees. 

One Ismaiala Bilbis claims that the gunmen broke into the community on numerous motorcycles carrying advanced weaponry and were free to roam for more than three hours.

“The terrorists, after killing over 20 people, abducted two people,” he said.

He added that although security services received distress calls, the terrorists had already departed when the military and other security personnel arrived. Additionally, some of the residents disclosed that 14 of the deceased were buried early on Friday morning. 

Recall that in recent times, villages in Zamfara State's Tsafe Local Government Area have been subjected to ceaseless attacks by unrepentant terrorists who have persisted in frightening the populace.
