Bandits armed with sophisticated weapons have invaded villages in the Faskari Local Government Area (LGA) of Katsina State.

The bandits, who were said to have been on rampage across three different villages in the Faskari LGA, invaded Yar Nasarawa village in the late hours of Monday, killing at least six persons.

Yar Nasarawa village shares boundary with Zamfara State and is approximately five kilometers to Faskari Local Government headquarters.

The village is located closed to the Nigerian Army Super Camp established by Brigadier General Tukur Yusuf Buratai for ‘Operation Sahel Sanity’ meant to restore peace in North-West area including Niger State.

A resident told newsmen on Tuesday that the hoodlums killed six persons at Yar Nasarawa village alone and set eight cars ablaze.

At Yar Nasarawa village alone, six people were killed and eight cars were set ablaze. One of the victims has just been buried this (Tuesday) morning in line with Islamic rites,” the source stated.

It was gathered that unspecified number of people were said to have been abducted and several others wounded as a result of the attack even as six shops including grains stores and motorcycles belonging to the residents were also set ablaze.

For another resident, similar attack was carried out in Madogara village in the same local government area by another set of bandits, who rustled animals.
