Bandits have in a series of coordinated assaults, attacked Tuge town in Musawa Local Government Area (LGA) and Marabar Kankara in Malumfashi LGA, both in Katsina State.
The attack on Tuge town resulted in the abduction of several individuals, including children and married women, causing significant distress within the community.
Similarly, the bandits targeted Marabar Kankara, where they abducted two people.
Banditry and general insecurity has plagued parts of Katsina State for some years now with the State government responding by creating the Katsina State Community Vigilante Service.
