Suspected bandits on Thursday attacked Dangeza community in Katsina State, killing five residents.
Dangeza, a farming and business community, is one of several villages in Batsari local government area of the state under incessant bandits’ attacks.
A local, Jamilu Ali, said the bandits came Thursday morning and started shooting in the air, according to a Premium Times report.
“The bandits came very early in the morning when some of the locals where getting ready to go to the weekly market in Batsari town. Most of those killed were early risers hoping to catch the first vehicle to Batsari,” he said.
He added that the attack left five locals dead while scores of others have been hospitalised in Batsari.
He stated that despite efforts by members of the vigilante group stationed in the area, the bandits looted shops and stole goods already brought out by the people.
