Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Bandits launched fresh attacks in Katsina State on Wednesday afternoon, leaving at least three people dead and one person abducted in separate incidents across Sabuwa and Faskari local government areas.<\/p>\n

Eyewitnesses and local sources revealed that the first attack occurred at the Sabuwa General Hospital where the assailants shot and killed two staff members \u2014 a laboratory technician and a security guard \u2014 before fleeing the scene.<\/p>\n

According to Bakatsine on his X handle, in a separate incident on the outskirts of Faskari, armed men ambushed farmers, killing one and abducting another.<\/p>\n

The attacks are the latest in a series of violent incidents across the state, which continues to struggle with insecurity, particularly in rural communities bordering the forest regions.<\/p>\n

Authorities are yet to issue an official statement, but residents say the frequency of attacks has instilled fear and disrupted daily life in the affected areas.<\/p>\n
