How a town in Katsina State was ransacked overnight and dozens of inhabitants and property carted away in an attack by bandits.
Shocking details have emerged of how a town in Katsina State was ransacked overnight and dozens of inhabitants and property carted away in an attack by bandits.
Multiple sources from the town told PREMIUM TIMES that the marauders executed the attack diligently, moving from one house to another, without any resistance.A resident who pleaded anonymity for fear of retaliation gave a chilling account of the operation which, he said, started around 11:30 p.m. on Monday.
About six weeks after what was a minor attack, some persons in Wurma were called at dusk on Monday from Tsaskia with vital information; the bandits had mobilised in large numbers heading towards Wurma.Villagers said SOS calls were sent out about the intelligence received from their neighbours but no help came throughout the time they were under siege.“They came on motorcycles each carrying between two and three.
Mr Muhammad said the marauders also left with all functional motorcycles in the town and vandalized private cars they sighted.Aside from material theft, the attackers also went away with about 50 villagers, mostly women and children.“My half-sisters were kidnapped, so also my nieces and other members of the family and most of them were kidnapped along with their children,” he said.
