“Terror at Dawn: Katsina Community Torn by Ruthless Bandit Attack, Village Head and Four Children Among the Fallen
In a harrowing assault in the early hours of November 8, bandits stormed Kukar Babangida village in Jibia, Katsina State, leaving ten dead, including the village head and four of his children. The attackers, striking around 1:30 a.m. while the village slept, unleashed terror on the rural community, which has been increasingly vulnerable to banditry. Local sources reported that this was the third attack in a week on the Jibia Local Government Area, an escalation that highlights the region’s urgent insecurity crisis. Authorities, despite pledges of protection, have struggled to contain such relentless raids, and police had yet to release a statement at the time of the report.
Calls are growing for a more coordinated response, with prominent voices urging that only a unified and sustained regional operation can put an end to the bandits’ hold over rural Katsina and other areas across Nigeria’s northwest.
