Unknown gunmen have launched a fresh attack on Danye Gaba village, Bugaje ward in Jibiya Local Government Area of Katsina State.

According to a source who pleaded anonymity, the traumatic incident took place around 1:30am on Tuesday, March 24, 2022.

The source also claimed that the movement of the criminals was known since around 8pm on Monday and different security agencies were alerted. He, however, lamented that no proactive measure was taken until the bandits raided the community and rustled a number of cows.

The bandits have reportedly rustled over 100 cows of the residents, the development that came barely few hours after unknown gunmen roamed and killed 15 farmers at Gakurdi village of the state.

It was gathered that Danye Gaba village is said to be situated about two kilometres away from the 17 brigade, a military barracks in Katsina.

The Police Spokesman in Katsina, SP Gambo Isah, said, “Right now, we are there with the CP to assess the situation.”
