At least four people have been killed and no fewer than 12 others abducted by terrorists in renewed attacks on communities in Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State.
SaharaReporters gathered that the latest attacks occurred on Friday night when heavily armed bandits stormed Dan Nakwabo and Madobai villages, despite assurances that a peace deal had reduced hostilities in the troubled local government area.
According to local sources and a Katsina-based security expert, Malam Bakatsine, the gunmen emerged at about 9:00 p.m., firing sporadically as they moved through the two rural communities, spreading fear and panic among residents.
In Dan Nakwabo village, the attackers reportedly killed two people, a man and a woman, identified as children of a well-known local businessman, Alhaji Dan Azimi. The assailants also abducted two other residents during the raid.
