No fewer than sixteen people have been abducted in a meticulously planned attack by armed bandits in Katsina State.
Reports obtained by this online medium revealed that the assailants stormed Kogo in the Faskari Local Government Area of the state on Thursday, February 8.
The raid, which took place at approximately 8:20 pm, reportedly resulted in the abduction of 16 residents, including men, women, and children.
The villagers were caught off guard and left in a state of shock after the attack.
“The assailants infiltrated the community quietly, likely parking their motorcycles at a distance to avoid detection,” Daily Post quoted a source saying.
“Without causing much alarm, they targeted a specific residence and abducted 16 people, including children, women, and men,” the source added, explaining further that the community is currently facing profound apprehension regarding the safety of their abducted neighbours and the general security of the vicinity.
Residents have since expressed their anxieties to journalists as they await updates on the situation.
However, the state police command is yet to issue any official statement as of the time of filing this report.
