Security concerns have escalated in Zamfara State following the abduction of Mallam Sadis Isa, the Chairman of the Council of Scholars in Gummi Local Government Area. The shocking incident also involved several other passengers traveling along a major highway, highlighting the persistent threats faced by commuters in the region.

The attack took place on Tuesday evening, October 7, 2025, along the Gusau–Gummi highway—a key route connecting local communities and commercial centers. Eyewitnesses reported a sudden blockade, leaving travelers stranded and vulnerable as armed bandits carried out the abduction.

Security analyst Bakatsine provided insight into the nature of the attack, explaining that the assailants strategically stopped vehicles along the route. The precise number of victims remains unknown, but the inclusion of a prominent local leader underscores the severity of the situation and its potential implications for regional stability.

Authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the ongoing rescue operations. Residents of Gummi and surrounding areas are expressing concern, as such incidents disrupt daily activities, instill fear, and challenge local governance. Community leaders are calling for enhanced patrols and rapid response mechanisms to prevent further occurrences.

The abduction highlights the broader security challenges facing Zamfara State, where banditry and highway kidnappings have become increasingly common. Analysts warn that without coordinated security interventions, both civilians and public officials remain at heightened risk, threatening social and economic development in affected areas.

While rescue and negotiation efforts continue, the event serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerability of major transit routes. Citizens are urged to remain vigilant, travel cautiously, and report suspicious activities to authorities to mitigate the risk of similar attacks in the future.
