Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Bandits have killed a member of the Hunters Association of Nigeria, HAN, Aliyu Yahaya in Magamar-Jibia town, Jibia Local Government Area of Katsina State.<\/p>\n

The assailants also set his body and home ablaze, and kidnapped members of his family along with three neighbors.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old volunteer security agent was said to have been killed when bandits stormed his home.<\/p>\n

The deceased\u2019s brother, Salisu Yahaya, said the assailants overpowered Aliyu before killing him and setting his body on fire inside his room, adding that they also kidnapped Aliyu\u2019s wife, son, and three neighbors during the raid.<\/p>\n

The state police spokesman, ASP Abubakar Sadiq, confirmed the incident.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cYes the incident happened and the investigation is ongoing with the view to arrest the perpetrators and rescue the kidnapped victims.\u201d<\/p>\n

The incident has sparked outrage among residents, with many calling on the government to take urgent steps to address the worsening menace.<\/p>\n

The residents also appealed to the authorities to prioritize the rescue of the victims to alleviate the trauma suffered by their families and the community.<\/p>\n

One of the community leaders, Alhaji Sani Salisu, however, blamed the attack on the absence of security personnel in the area, calling for increased security presence to prevent future occurrences.<\/p>\n
