When bandits raided Unguwar Samanja village in Katsina State’s Faskari local government area, at least six people were killed and numerous others were abducted.
The robbers assaulted the town at 5:49 p.m. on Sunday, October 24, when inhabitants were preparing for prayer, according to reports.
According to Nasir Hassan, a Daudawa local who talked to Premium Times, the assailants arrived in the area on motorcycles minutes before morning prayer and began shooting intermittently.
“From what I gathered, five people were confirmed dead after the attack and they have been buried today (Monday) morning,” he said.
Hassan, a student at a Zamfara State tertiary institution, said the attackers also kidnapped a number of individuals, although he didn’t know how many.
“They also burnt down houses and shops before leaving the village. I was told that they did not loot the shops, they only burnt them,” he said.
Auwal Liman, a Daudawa native, said the number of people slain had climbed to six, including a person killed on the outskirts of the hamlet who was purportedly from the Unguwar Labbo group.
Bahisulhaq Alhassan, a Faskari student, verified that one of his friends was slain.
“His name is Jaafar Kabir and he was killed on his way to Daudawa from Unguwar Samanja." Alhassan said.
