Bandits killed at least nine persons and rustled over 500 cows in Sabuwa Local Government Area of Katsina State, the lawmaker representing the area in the state House of Assembly, Ibrahim Danjuma, told PREMIUM TIMES on Thursday.
Mr Danjuma said the attackers, welding sophisticated weapons, rode on motorcycles on Saturday from Tashan Bawa village to raid communities in Sabuwa before returning to their forest base unchallenged.
“On Saturday the gunmen appeared from Tashan Bawa village where they started the killing and proceeded to Yarkaka community where they killed two and injured four persons. They proceeded to Unguwan Dauda where they killed one person and razed two vehicles,” the lawmaker said. “As a lawmaker, I informed all the relevant security agents when the attacks were ongoing. Unfortunately, there was no response from the security agents. In the attacks they killed nine and injured eight,” Mr Danjuma said.The lawmaker said Katsina may experience its worst food crisis because Sabuwa Local Government Area is the major producer of grains in the state.
