Armed groups operating in Zamfara often kidnap for ransom but when gunmen took more than 300 boys from Kankara in neighbouring Katsina state in December last year, some reports claimed that Boko Haram, which operates hundreds of miles away in the north-east, was behind the attack.
Kooxo hubeysan oo ka howlgala Zamfara ayaa inta badan afduub ka fuliya halkaas, si ay u helaan madax furasho, laakiin markii rag hubeysan ay in ka badan 300 oo wiilal ah ka kaxeysteen Kankara oo deris la ah gobolka Katsina bishii Diseembar ee sanadkii hore, ayaa wararka qaar waxa ay sheegeen in kooxda Boko Haram, oo ka howlgasha waqooyiga-bari ay ka dambeeyeen weerarka.
