Police Press Release

 

KATSINA POLICE COMMAND FOILED ATTACKS, RESCUED TWENTY-ONE (21) VICTIMS IN JIBIA TOWNSHIP, REASSURES COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC SAFETY AND SECURITY.

 

In a swift and coordinated response, the Katsina State Police Command, in collaboration

with the Nigerian Military, members of the state community watch corps, and vigilantes, successfully foiled simultaneous attacks on three quarters in Jibia Township, Katsina State, on November 7th, 2024.

 

At about 2115 hrs (9:15 pm), suspected armed bandits launched coordinated

attacks on Ka'ida, Unguwar One Boy, and Danmarke quarters, all in Jibia Township, Jibia LGA, Katsina State. The swift response of the joint security team led by the DPO Jibia repelled the attackers, resulting in a fierce gun duel that lasted for over an hour.

firepower and tactical advantage of the joint security team eventually forced the bandits to retreat with unspecified casualties as the operation resulted in the successful rescue of sixteen (16) victims trapped by the bandits.

 

Regrettably, five (5) persons sustained gunshot

injuries as a result of the bandits' attack. The injured victims were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention.

 

Sadly, one member of the Katsina State Community Watch Corps and a Vigilante member lost their lives during the encounter, paying the ultimate

price. Further development will be communicated in due course, please.

 

The command, in collaboration with sister security agencies, while working closely with all relevant stakeholders, is intensifying efforts to ensure the arrest of the perpetrators of this dastardly act.

 

The Commissioner of Police, Katsina State Police Command, CP Aliyu Abubakar Musa, PSc+, reassured the public of the command's commitment to safeguarding lives and properties in the state. He further urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station or through the command's emergency numbers:
