5 DЄad As Bandits Att@ck Katsina Villages, Burn Police Station

• During their invasion, bandits killed five people in the Kurfi Local Government Area of Katsina State and attacked three villages at a minimum.

As gathered by FRESHREPORTERS NEWS, armed attackers allegedly invaded Wurma village during Thursday evening and indiscriminately fired shots. Consequently, inhabitants hurriedly fled for secure zones.

SaharaReporters reported that the bandits set fire to a police station in their attack, causing the affected villagers to seek safety in alternative communities within the state.

On Friday, the inhabitants held a nonviolent demonstration to request the reinstatement of safety measures.

A resident who survived told the media that, “They (bandits) attacked at about 6:30 pm and killed five heads of households. They also carted away valuables, that’s why our people came out to protest.”

“As we speak our village has been sacked, no single human being lives there again. We have abandoned everything to stay alive,” another resident added.

The Commissioner for Homeland Security, Nasir Babangida Ma’azu, has confirmed the incident, saying that terrorists had intensified attacks in the area.

Ma’zau added that Lambo and Guda villages under Kurfi local government have also been sacked by the terrorists.

He said, “During the first raid the bandits went from house-to-house hunting for those to kidnap. On their second visit, they burnt down the police station, forcing the residents to run for their lives.”..[CONTINUE READING HERE]>>
