Residents of Jeri community in Kusada Local Government Area of Katsina State have been thrown into distress after bandits launched a prolonged attack on the area.
The incident, which occurred on March 27, 2026, involved armed men moving from one house to another and looting valuables without interruption for nearly two hours.
Security analyst Bakatsine disclosed the development in a post shared on X on Friday, where he gave details of the attack.
“Bandits carried out a house-to-house raid in Jeri community, Kusada LGA of Katsina State, operating for nearly two hours,” he stated.
During the operation, the attackers reportedly made away with mobile phones, cash, and cattle belonging to residents.
“Phones, cash and cattle worth millions were taken,” Bakatsine added.
Despite the scale of the attack, there were no reported deaths or abductions.
The incident has, however, sparked fresh concerns over security in the area. This comes amid recent efforts by authorities to restore peace in parts of Katsina State.
Bakatsine also pointed out that the attack occurred only weeks after a peace agreement was said to have been reached with bandits in Kankia Local Government Area.
“This incident raises fresh concerns about the effectiveness of the peace deal struck with bandits in Kankia LGA just weeks ago,” he said.
