Bandits have reportedly attacked several communities in Malumfashi Local Government Area of Katsina State, killing and injuring residents, while others were abducted.
The development was disclosed on Tuesday by Bakatsine, a
security analyst and crisis journalist, via his X handle.
According to the report, “SAD NEWS: Last night, bandits
stormed Unguwar Alh. Barau, Gidan Dan Mai-gizo and Gidan Hazo communities in
Na’alma Ward, Malumfashi LGA, Katsina State. They killed and injured several
people, and also abducted some residents during the attacks.
“What is the current status of the recent peace deal
reportedly reached with bandits by Malumfashi LGA leaders, and why did this
attack still occur within Malumfashi LGA territory?” Bakatsine wrote.
Meanwhile, it was gathered that the latest attack has
renewed concerns over the recurring collapse of peace agreements between armed
bandits and community leaders in Katsina State.
Residents said it has become a repeated pattern for bandits
to enter into peace talks with local leaders, only to later breach the
agreements and launch fresh attacks on affected communities.
The situation, residents noted, has heightened fear and
uncertainty, with many questioning the effectiveness of such peace deals in
guaranteeing security.
The affected communities have therefore called on the
Katsina State Government and security agencies to intervene decisively and
implement lasting measures to restore peace and protect lives and property in
the area.
