According to reports, bandits have invaded multiple settlements in Katsina State’s Malumfashi Local Government Area, killing and wounding locals while kidnapping others.
Security analyst and crisis journalist Bakatsine revealed the development on Tuesday through his X handle.
“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,” the report states. During the attacks, they kidnapped some locals and killed and injured numerous others.
“What is the current state of the recent peace agreement that Malumfashi LGA leaders are said to have reached with bandits, and why did this attack still take place within Malumfashi LGA territory?” Bakatsine penned.
According to reports, the most recent assault has rekindled worries about the frequent breakdown of peace accords between armed bandits and local authorities in Katsina State.
According to locals, bandits frequently engage in peace negotiations with local authorities before breaking the agreements and attacking impacted areas again.
Residents reported that the situation has increased anxiety and uncertainty, with many doubting the ability of such peace agreements to ensure security.
In order to restore peace and safeguard people and property in the area, the impacted communities have urged the Katsina State Government and security authorities to take swift action and put long-term safeguards in place.
