According to report, eyewitness reports indicate that the bandits stormed the community around 12:30 a.m., firing gunshots indiscriminately to instill fear and prevent
resistance from residents.
Efforts to confirm the incident from the Katsina State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abubakar Sadiq, were unsuccessful, as he responded via SMS, stating that he “can’t talk now.”
Investigations and potential rescue efforts for the kidnapped individuals are anticipated to be initiated by security services.
