Armed bandits have allegedly ambushed a vehicle escorting travellers in Zamfara State killing one policeman in the process.
The incident was said to have occurred on Monday when the vehicle was coming from Dansadau community to Gusau with the passengers inside.
Dansadau is about 99 kilometers from the Zamfara state capital, Gusau.
A resident of the community, Nuhu Dansadau expressed concern about the situation saying that armoured vehicles have been the only source of protection for travellers in the last few weeks between the two major towns.
He called on the government to take all necessary steps to curtail the activities of bandits in the area.
