Tragedy struck Yasore, a community in Batsari Local Government Area of Katsina State, as bandits launched a violent attack, leaving one person dead and at least five others injured. The assault, which took place on Tuesday evening, has left the village in a state of fear and mourning.

According to reports, the attack was allegedly a reprisal for recent successes by security forces in neutralizing bandits during an operation in Ruwan Dorawa, a neighboring community in Dutsin-Ma LGA. The attackers, heavily armed, stormed Yasore, opening fire indiscriminately and causing panic among residents.

Eyewitnesses recounted harrowing scenes as families fled for their lives. The attackers raided homes, abducting several individuals and leaving a trail of destruction. “It was a nightmare; people were running in all directions to escape,” a resident said.

While the exact number of abductees remains unclear, community members have reported that several individuals are still unaccounted for.

The Katsina State Police Command has not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident. Attempts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abubakar Sadiq, for comment were unsuccessful as calls went unanswered at the time of reporting.

This latest attack highlights the persistent security challenges facing communities in Katsina State, despite ongoing efforts by law enforcement and security agencies. Residents have called on the government to intensify measures to protect lives and property, urging for more proactive strategies to combat banditry in the region.

The Yasore community continues to grapple with the aftermath of the attack, as families mourn their losses and hope for the safe return of their abducted loved ones.
