On Tuesday, bandits overran the Yasore community in Batsari Local Council, Katsina State, in an operation that lasted several hours.

As is customary, the renowned gunmen who insulted the State’s ongoing security efforts arrived on motorcycles.

During the attack on the town, the State Police Command’s spokesman, SP. Gambo Isah, acknowledged that 11 people were killed and 10 others were injured, however community accounts put the number of people slain at 16, with numerous others injured.

According to SP. Gambo, the attack was retaliation by herdsmen seeking vengeance for the deaths of their members who were just purportedly killed by volunteer vigilantes known locally as ‘Yan Sakai.’

“Yes, the attack on the community occurred, and 11 individuals lost their lives and ten others were injured to varying degrees.” The attack was a retaliation by herdsmen whose members had previously been killed by Yan Sakai.

“Yan Sakai is still prohibited, and anyone caught impersonating one would be regarded as a bandit,” SP. Gambo cautioned.

Aside from the people murdered and injured in the attack, the hoodlums wreaked havoc on the town by torching numerous homes, looting and carting away cash, food, phones, and clothing, and rustling many livestock before fleeing.
