Armed gunmen stormed communities in Faskari Local Government
of Katsina State on Tuesday, killing scores of residents.
For hours, the residents were at the mercy of the bandits.
More than 40 people, mostly the elderly, women and children,
were killed.
Also, a number of young females were raped.
A source told PRNigeria on Wednesday that communities
affected include Kadisau, Maigora, Kabalawa, Kwakware, Raudama and Unguwar
Wahabi.
The source said the bandits stormed the communities on
several motorcycles.
“They abused some young girls and married women while
setting houses and food stores on fire.”
He added that the assailants also “robbed the villagers
before they rustled domestic animals, especially cows and sheep”.
However, the bandits have threatened more attacks.
The attackers sent words that they would return after
Wednesday’s funeral service (Janaizah) for the victims.
But Police spokesman in Katsina State, SP Gambo Isah, has
assured the people of safety.
“The Area Commander in Funtua, DPOs and military personnel
are currently in the area to ensure maximum security during the burial and
afterwards”, he said.
