Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Katsina State witnessed two separate bandit attacks between Friday and Saturday that claimed the lives of a member of the Katsina Community Watch Corps, KCWC, the father of another member, and two others.<\/p>\n

In the Saturday attacks, five bandits invaded Unguwar Yayyara village, Danmusa LGA, around 2 am, and targeted the residence of Isa Bawa Yantumaki, a member of KCWC. They killed his father, Malam Suleiman Mai Rake, and stole two cows.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Friday, around 5 pm, at Sabuwa Local Government Area of the state, a reliable source told DAILY POST that bandits on motorcycles stormed Ungwar Damari village, where they killed one Shehu Armaya\u2019u, a member of KCWC, and two others simply identified as Lawal and Mamuda. According to the source, the late Armay\u2019au secured a two-day off duty and decided to visit his family when he met his end.<\/p>\n

These horrific incidents highlight the escalating bandit attacks plaguing the state\u2019s rural areas. Despite efforts by the KCWC and other security agents, the attacks have intensified since the new year.<\/p>\n
