Bandits in Zamfara kidnap, butcher newly married pregnant woman
In a tragic turn of events, the lifeless body of Mrs. Naja’atu Abdullahi Umar, a pregnant woman who was allegedly kidnapped by bandits, has been discovered in Zamfara State.

“This afternoon, a compassionate woman passing by the area detected a foul odor. As she investigated, she stumbled upon a lifeless human body, prompting her to quickly run for help and alert those nearby. To everyone’s horror, they discovered the lifeless remains of Naja’atu.
