A devastating bandit assault in Ungwan Sarki Noma community, situated within the Sabuwa Local Government Area of Katsina State, has resulted in the tragic loss of at least 24 lives, with numerous individuals sustaining injuries.
The victims, primarily comprised of vigilant community members, courageously confronted the bandits in an attempt to thwart their nefarious activities, tragically succumbing to the violence that ensued.
According to a local security official who conveyed the harrowing details of the incident on national television, the assault persisted for approximately one hour, during which the bandits carried out raids on four distinct villages. Allegedly, these attacks were executed in purported retaliation against recent military operations targeting bandit hideouts.
The assailants unleashed chaos upon Unguwar Sarkin Noma, Gangara, Tafi, and Kore on Thursday night, initiating a barrage of gunfire and instilling fear and uncertainty among the residents.
As of the latest reports, law enforcement authorities have yet to provide official statements regarding the calamitous attacks.
Sabuwa stands among the eight Local Government Areas in Katsina State grappling with the alarming surge in banditry incidents, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced security measures and concerted efforts to safeguard the populace from such heinous acts of violence.
