Aburufe is a small populated place located in the Gummi Local Government Area of Zamfara State, Nigeria. Situated in the northwestern part of the country, Aburufe lies in the Sahel region, characterized by a semi-arid climate with dry and hot weather conditions.

The village of Aburufe is home to a relatively small population, primarily consisting of Hausa-speaking people. The local economy is mainly based on agriculture, with subsistence farming being the primary occupation of the residents. Crops such as millet, sorghum, and maize are cultivated in the surrounding farmlands, providing sustenance for the community.

The infrastructure in Aburufe is modest, with basic amenities such as a primary school, a few shops, and a mosque serving the local population. Access to clean water and electricity can be limited, as is common in many rural areas of Nigeria. The nearest healthcare facility is typically located in the nearby town of Gummi, which is approximately 10 kilometers away.

Aburufe is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Sahel landscape, with sparse vegetation and occasional acacia trees dotting the area. The village enjoys a peaceful and close-knit community atmosphere, with traditional customs and cultural practices being an integral part of daily life.

In recent years, Aburufe, like many other communities in Zamfara State, has faced security challenges due to the activities of bandits and militia groups. This has posed a threat to the safety and well-being of the residents, requiring increased vigilance and security measures.
