槍手在奈及利亞西北部殺害治安志工的11名親屬，並綁架13人

卡諾，11月9日（路透社）——警方週一表示，槍手週末襲擊奈及利亞西北部扎姆法拉州（Zamfara）一座村莊，殺害一名當地治安志工及其10名親屬，焚燒他們的遺體，並放火燒毀其住家，另綁架13人。KANO, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Gunmen killed a local security volunteer and 10 of his relatives, burned their bodies, torched their home and abducted 13 others in a weekend attack on a village in northwestern Nigeria's Zamfara state, police said on Monday.

• 奈及利亞西北部許多州都有志工組織，協助保衛村莊和城鎮免受武裝幫派侵擾；安全部隊因忙於對抗伊斯蘭武裝分子，以及這些被稱為「土匪」（bandits）的幫派而兵力吃緊。• Many northwestern states in Nigeria have groups of volunteers who help defend villages and towns from armed gangs, as the security forces are stretched fighting Islamist militants and the gangs, known as bandits.

• 警方發言人亞齊德・阿布巴卡爾（Yazid Abubakar）表示，這名志工曾多次協助安全部隊擊退犯罪幫派對當地的入侵，之後槍手在馬拉敦區（Maradun district）吉丹塔巴（Gidan Taba）襲擊了他。• Police spokesperson Yazid Abubakar said the gunmen attacked the volunteer in Gidan Taba in Maradun district, after he repeatedly helped security forces fend off incursions by criminal gangs into the community

• 阿布巴卡爾說：「他們認為他妨礙了他們的活動。」• "They considered him an obstacle to their activities," Abubakar said

• 據阿布巴卡爾說，攻擊者先殺害這名男子——他是政府支持的義警組織成員——隨後又殺害他的其他10名家人，並放火燒毀他們的房屋。• According to Abubakar, the attackers killed the man, a member of a government-backed vigilante group, before murdering 10 other members of his family and setting their house on fire

• 阿布巴卡爾表示，安全部隊已部署到該地區，正努力確保人質獲釋。• Abubakar said security forces have been deployed in the area and are working to secure the hostages' release

• 奈及利亞西北部多年來一直面臨這些土匪攻擊；他們突襲村莊、殺害居民、綁架民眾勒贖，並洗劫民宅。• Northwest Nigeria has for years faced attacks by the bandits, who raid villages, kill residents, abduct people for ransom and loot homes
