 Bandits disrupt Jumat prayers in Katsina


Bandits armed with dangerous weapons invaded Dan-Ali, a community in Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina State, disrupting Jummat prayers in multiple mosques.


Newsmen learnt on Friday that the armed assailants stormed the areas, firing sporadically, causing panic and forcing worshippers to flee.


A source within the community confirmed the incident.


He stated, “We were at the Jummat prayer when we heard the shooting and everybody ran. We couldn’t hold our prayers again. Thanks to the Security Watch Corps in the area that gave them a hot chase.”


The source, who wished to remain anonymous, added, “We need reinforcement because the bandits are giving us a tough time in our communities as we speak.”


According to him, for over a week, bandits have been preventing farmers from entering their farmlands in Dan-Ali and surrounding areas, including Gwarjo, Dangane, Tudun, Tasha Kadanya, and Tasha Biri.


“Many farmers have been kidnapped, and we are all scared to enter our farms,” the source added.


Efforts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Abubakar Sadiq, for comment, were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.
