Unverified reports say bandits took 14 worshippers in Zamfara. Donjoe Media awaits police confirmation.

Reports from Bukuyum, Zamfara State, say bandits hit a church on Sunday morning.

The claim says 14 worshippers were taken during service.

Donjoe Media has not confirmed this. Police have not confirmed it either. We are still waiting.

The reports came from local residents. They say the attackers came on motorcycles. They say shots were fired. They say people were forced out.

That is what people are saying. It is not yet fact.

We checked. No police statement as at this morning. No army statement. No credible outlet has confirmed it for today, Nov 8.

Bukuyum is vulnerable. Forests surround it. Bandits have used those forests before. That history makes people believe fast. But history is not proof.

We will not rush.

If police confirm, we will update with their exact figures. If they give a different number, we will correct it. If they deny it, we will say so.

That is our rule. Facts first. Not first to broadcast.

We advise readers not to share unverified alerts as fact. Wait for police.

We will keep checking. Once verification lands, we will update.

Status: Unconfirmed. Awaiting police verification.
