Armed bandits invaded Dan-Ali, a community in Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina State, disrupting Jummat prayers in several mosques.
The assailants stormed the area on Friday, October 4, firing indiscriminately and causing widespread panic among worshippers.
A local source confirmed the incident to Punch, stating: “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 also mentioned that bandits have been preventing farmers from accessing their farmlands in Dan-Ali and nearby communities for over a week.
“We need reinforcement because the bandits are giving us a tough time in our communities as we speak.”
The affected areas include Gwarjo, Dangane, Tudun, Tasha Kadanya, and Tasha Biri.
