IBADAN, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Three persons have been killed while others were abducted in Dantsauni village in Batagarawa local government area of Katsina State when terrorists invaded the community.
A source explained that one of the deceased, identified as Abdulrashid Abba Manna, a resident of Katsina, was trapped and killed by the terrorists when he went to farm in the morning at Dantsauni village.
He said the attack came barely three days after bandits attacked surrounding communities of Babbar Ruga, Kwarin Maikotso and Kore villages where they operated freely and killed two people with eight others kidnapped.
During the attack on Dantsauni village which is about one kilometre away from Babbar Ruga village, the terrorists abducted dozens of people, mostly women and children, while hundreds of people were seen running towards the ancient city of Katsina for their dear lives.
He revealed that the terrorists also fired some shots along Katsina Ring road which is very close to the city. Residents of the area said no security personnel was seen during the over 45-minutes operation by the terrorists which happened in broad daylight.
SP Gambo Isah, the police spokesman in Katsina, when contacted, confirmed the attack and said one person was killed and two others injured.
