Bandits Kill Nine Persons, Abduct Many In Fresh Attack In Katsina Communities

Gunmen suspected to be Fulani bandits have attacked two communities in Batsari Local Government Area of Katsina State. 





According to Katsina Post, the communities attacked are Tsauwa and Gandu.


The newspaper reported that no fewer than nine persons have been killed by the bandits while numerous others were left injured and many more kidnapped.

Recall that Tsauwa Village was ransacked by bandits months ago in a revenge attack.

Killings and kidnapping for ransom have continued in Katsina despite security reinforcement in the state.

Locals said the bandits had earlier threatened to attack the community through an open letter, which made the villagers to invite vigilante officials for protection.

They said the bandits on arrival, shot sporadically, overpowered the vigilante officials and killed the victims on the spot.


The hoodlums also injured many other residents during the deadly invasion and rustled unspecified number of animals.
