…as over 400 residents flee their homes
No fewer than 16 people are feared dead, with many others still missing, after armed bandits attacked Kiliya village near Bagagadi in the Dutsinma Local Government Area of Katsina State on Friday.
The assault took place shortly after residents had performed the Juma’at prayers and were relaxing in the village, exchanging greetings in the spirit of the ongoing Sallah celebrations.
A survivor who spoke with journalists described the horror of the attack. Following the incident, panic has gripped the community, with over 400 residents fleeing to Bagagadi village for safety, while others sought refuge in Radda.
According to him, two bandits arrived on a motorcycle first. As panic spread and villagers tried to flee, the attackers ordered them to stop before opening fire indiscriminately.
