Barely 48 hours to the Saturday’s rescheduled presidential and National Assembly elections, bandits have sacked 10 communities, forcing over 2,000 residents to relocate from their ancestral homes in Batsari Local Government Area (LGA) of Katsina State.

The affected communities are Tudun Garin-Yara, Kwandatso, Garin Labo, Shigi, Sabon-Garin Dunburan, Garin Dodo, Inwala, Madattai, Sabon-Garin Shigi and Kasai.

Our correspondent who visited Batsari Modern Primary School where the victims, mostly women and children, were relocated, gathered that the crisis started last Sunday in Kasai community but later spread to other nine villages between Monday and Wednesday, rendering thousands of residents homeless.

The attack, which claimed seven lives, including an army captain, also led to the abduction of many women and children who were declared missing after the invasion.

One of the victims, Inatu Labo who could not control her tears while speaking to THISDAY at the camp, said: “We were asleep when the well-armed bandits numbering about hundreds attacked us. They killed some of our villagers and went away with our animals.”

Conducting THISDAY round the 12 classrooms occupied by the displaced persons, the Council Director of Education and Social Services, Kabir Abba Umar, said government had provided some palliatives in form of food items and sleeping materials to the displaced people.

“We have activated the temporary camps with profiling of the affected persons, and health personnel have been deployed to the camp. The local government has provided water tank, mats, blankets and buckets.

“As of yesterday, we registered more than 2,000 Internally Displayed Persons (IDPs) in this temporary camp and more are trooping in today. The displaced persons trek from their ancestral homes, which are about 10 to 15 kilometres away from Batsari.

“The local government area has also directed that provision of other requirements for camp operation should be giving to the displaced persons immediately”, he explained.

RIP to the dead!

It's possible the PDP are at work. If care is not taken, PDP will keep shouting rigging, while they have perfected and are implementing their rigging plans. If this news is true, it's possible the PDP are behind those who carried out this attack, else, we have hardly heard of bandits attacks in Katsina before. PDP needs to be buried forever this year, then by 2023 we bury APC as well and then somehow have a new breed of politicians.

I just tire for 9ja

.... ..and Buhari their sun is still claiming to be the president. Thank God for tomorrow, our mumu don do

PDP

PDP should stop all these sponsored senseless killings. The attack came after INEC released the number of registered voters and collected PVC. Katsina was shown have the capacity to give PMB more votes than 3 states in the SE, so PDP sent their killer machines to the state to cause fear and instigate voter apathy.

PDP should stop all these sponsored senseless killings.
