Bandits armed with dangerous weapons invaded the Dan-Ali community in Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina State, disrupting Jummat prayers in multiple mosques.
The attack, which occurred during Friday prayers, caused panic as worshippers fled amidst sporadic gunfire.
A local source confirmed the incident, stating, “We were at the Jummat prayer when the shooting started, and everyone ran. Thanks to the Security Watch Corps, who quickly responded and chased the bandits.”
The source, who requested anonymity, called for reinforcement, highlighting the challenges the community faces. He noted that for over a week, the bandits have been preventing farmers from accessing their farmlands in Dan-Ali and surrounding areas like 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, emphasizing the urgent need for stronger security measures in the region.
