Daring bandits stormed Dan-Ali ward in Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina State Friday disrupting Jummat prayers.
NATIONAL WAVES learnt that the bandits stormed a Friday mosque and immediately began sporadic shooting indiscriminately forcing worshippers to flee for their safety.
“We were at the Jummat prayer when we heard the shooting and everybody ran. We couldn’t hold our prayers again. Thanks to the Security Watch Corps in the area that gave them a hot chase,” a resident in the area said.
Another witness pleaded with the government to provide better security.
“We need security reinforcement because the bandits are giving us a tough time in our communities as we speak.
“For over a week, bandits have been preventing farmers from entering their farmlands in Dan-Ali and surrounding areas including Gwarjo, Dangane, Tudun, Tasha Kadanya, and Tasha Biri.
“Many farmers have been kidnapped, and we are all scared to enter our farms,” he lamented.
The Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Abubakar Sadiq has not made statement concerning the incident.
