“The herder ran to the community and raised alarm, and community members marched to the location where they engaged the terrorists in a fight whiçh led to the killing of 15, while many were injured.

“The locals succeeded in killing some of the terrorists, and injured others. But the survivors among the terrorists carried their casualties and left.”

The attack was confirmed by the Deputy Governor, Abubakar Umar Tafida, who expressed condolences to the victims’ families.

During his visit to the community, Tafida reassured citizens of the state government’s commitment to bringing the perpetrators to justice and preventing further attacks.

He emphasised that the government would continue collaborating closely with security agencies to ensure the safety and well-being of citizens.

The Emir of Argungu, Alhaji Samaila Mera, also conveyed his sorrow over the brutal attack, urging unity and resilience among the people.

The 15 victims have been laid to rest in a funeral attended by the Deputy Governor, Commissioner of Police and the Emir.

The incident comes on the heels of recent attacks befalling the country, especially the North due to insecurity.

On Friday, two security officials comprising a member of the Katsina State Community Watch Corps, and one vigilante member, were reported to have lost their lives in an encounter with armed bandits terrorising Jibia Local Government Area of the state.

Five persons also sustained gunshot injuries during the attack.

The hoodlums were said to have launched the attacks at about 2115 hrs (9:15 pm), on Ka’ida, Unguwar One Boy, and Danmarke quarters, all in Jibia Township, Jibia LGA, Katsina State
