Fear and unrest grip 23 local communities in Zamfara State after notorious bandit leader Dogo Gide imposed a staggering ₦100 million ($65,000) levy.

The affected villagers are reportedly under immense pressure to meet the demands, fearing violent reprisals if they fail to comply.

Local sources suggest the communities are scrambling to raise the funds, with the deadline looming and tension mounting.

This latest development highlights the persistent insecurity in Zamfara State, where banditry has wreaked havoc on livelihoods and governance.

Authorities have yet to issue a formal response to the levy, leaving residents increasingly vulnerable to bandit control.

Community leaders are calling for urgent government intervention to prevent further exploitation and violence, as the imposed levy deepens the crisis in the already troubled region.
