At least nineteen people have died as a result of a deadly bandits’ attack on the Gobirawa Community in the Katsina State ward’s Dutsinma Local Government Area.
Around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, the hoodlums invaded the neighborhood and were armed with dangerous weapons and were from the nearby Danmusa forest. They occasionally shot, causing the immediate death of several people.
Following the incident, several people were unaccounted for, and residents demanded more security.
Because, in their opinion, war is getting closer to the local government’s HQ, they requested assistance from the relevant authorities.
Sani Abdullahi Kuki, an eyewitness, confirmed the attack to Channels Television on a Monday phone call despite Abubakar Sadiq, the spokesman for the Katsina State Police Command, declining to answer his calls or respond to texts he had texted.

Unknown number of people, mostly women, children, and the elderly, were abducted during the attack, according to Kuki. He claimed that residents’ stores were also destroyed, and that more than 20 homes had been set on fire.
He recalls that seven people were killed instantly when the hoodlums invaded the area last year.
Kuki noted that five of the dead were burned to death by the hoodlums, despite calling the attack completely out of control. Some patients were referred to the Katsina General Hospital for immediate medical care while others were taken in a rush to Dutsinma General Hospital.
This is completely out of control, he said. Because I couldn’t control my anger, I couldn’t even watch the funeral procession of a deceased person until the very end. He claimed that he left the cemetery when workers were digging graves for the five other victims who had been put to death.
The hoodlums set some of the residents who sought refuge inside grain silos on fire. Some were discovered on Sunday morning for burial after being burned beyond recognition.
After the incident, some of the victims were referred to Katsina Hospital and others to Dutsinma General Hospital.
On the spot, the bandits killed 19 people. There are still numerous missing people. I don’t believe there are currently at least 20 women who are residing in the neighborhood. In 20 vehicles, many people were driven away to safer locations.
The community’s entire stores were destroyed. More than 20 homes were blazed. Unnamed number of people were also abducted by the hoodlums, who were ordinarily from the nearby Danmusa forest, mostly women, children, and the elderly.
The hoodlums flee as soon as they see the Armored Protective Carrier Vehicle and head toward the community.
