Shehu described the recent attack in the area by the group of outlawed vigilante members popularly known as Yansakai as barbaric and inhumane, demanding immediate action by the concerned authorities to checkmate their activities in the state.

“The association does not support the attacks and kidnappings in Anka, Tsafe, and other parts of the state as being speculated in the state.

“I am making it very clear that the MACBAN in Zamfara State has never been involved in sponsoring or masterminding any attack or kidnapping of innocent people in the state. So, we distance ourselves from all the speculations making the rounds in the state”
