A group of armed individuals, described as bandits or terrorists, launched a series of attacks in Katsina state on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, leaving at least three people dead and several others abducted.
In a horrifying incident during Ishai prayer yesterday night, the hoodlums opened fire on the unsuspecting Muslim worshippers, killing three of them.
The chaos, he said, escalated as the hoodlums, further abducted a man and two women during the attack. “Unfortunately, the man’s refusal to go with the assailants cost him his life as he was mercilessly butchered for daring to defy the abductors,” the source revealed.
In a separate incident around 2:30 am today, the marauding bandits targeted the residence of Sani Maikifi, a vigilante member, in Ungwar Tudun Boka within Kankara township.
