Panic As Bandits Abduct Resident Just Hours After Cleric’s Kidnapping In Katsina

Suspected bandits attacked the Tamarke community in Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State on Sunday night, abducting a resident just a day after a prominent Islamic cleric was kidnapped in a separate incident in Ƙankara LGA.

This development was contained in a post by Katsina-based security analyst Bakatsine on Monday.

According to the analyst, the attackers stormed the Tamarke community under the cover of darkness, firing sporadically before whisking away a local resident to an unknown destination.

“Yesterday night, bandits invaded the Tamarke community in Bakori LGA, Katsina State and abducted one person. Just less than 24hrs after the abduction of Sheikh Mustapha Aliyu Unguwar Mai-Kawo in Ƙankara LGA,” Bakatsine wrote.
