Suspected bandits on Friday evening killed no fewer than thirty people in Tsauwa and Dankar villages in Batsari Local Government Area of Katsina State.

At Tsauwa where twenty-one people were killed, efforts were still being made on Saturday evening to bury some of the victims.

Majority of the victims in the village were old people and children.

The bandits also burnt down houses, animals, and foodstuffs.


The District Head of Batsari who is also Sarki Ruma, Alhaji Tukur Muaazu, described the incident as horrible.

He said, “I have never seen this type of destruction in my life. The bandits arrived here (Tsauwa) about 7 pm on Friday when residents were about observing Magrib. Some were also preparing to sleep. The bandits laid siege to the village, killing and destroying anything they sighted.

“I appeal to Governor Aminu Masari to come to the aid of the victims. I will also plead that security in the community should be strengthened. ”


The Katsina State Police Commissioner, Sanusi Buba, was also at the two communities for an on- the- spot assessment on Saturday.

He confirmed that thirty people were killed by the bandits.

The police chief said, “I still find it surprising that whatever could have been the motive, these people ( suspected bandits) could still carry out these dastardly acts. We are, however, after them.”

“Twenty-one people were killed in Tsauwa while nine were killed in Dankar.”


Security personnel including police and the army as well as local vigilantes had taken up positions in the two villages by Saturday evening.

Buhari has failed Nigerians! I do not understand why everyone is pretending like this is normal

Why haven't DSS undercover agents infiltrated these heartless bandits to cut off their roots?

In essence, part of the reasons why Nigeria is struggling against Boko Haram, banditry and other security threats is due to lack of effective intelligence gathering about the perpetrators and their operations, command and control structure, locations, movements and strategies. The situation is so bad that Boko haram seems to have better intelligence about our troop movement than we do about theirs.

The security threats of today in our country have shown that intelligence gathering will determine the success of national security measures. Therefore, the way forward here is for Federal Government to, as matter of URGENCY, strengthen and make effective the intelligence gathering machinery of DSS, NIA, the military and the police. DSS should be less visible in arrests and law enforcement but more discreetly effective in acts of undercovering, infiltration and data interception, etc. We should also bring back the good old days of Police CID personnel that operated as undercovers among the locals.

In other climes, the hieracrchy and operations of organizations like Boko haram, IPOB, Niger Delta militant groups, Islamic Movement of Nigeria, etc. would have been long been infiltrated by now.

U don mean it

I knew PMB is a wrong choice, but educated zombies see otherwise... God will deliver us.... Even Katsina can not be protected.. What a nation run by religious bigots

MANNABBGRIS Ur attention is needed here urgently

Their activities doesn't mirror the acts of banditry.
It is pure terrorism, if they are not curbed soonest, the south might soon start to have similar experience.
If this is the next level government promised, zombies keep that to the north.

Buhari is a disaster.
Katsina people are regretting voting for him.

Why is Buhari still the president for heaven's sake!
This is the reason some people have turned stone hearted when it comes to these killings in the North because of their protectionism of an obviously grossly incompetent person,so out of his depth concerning leadership.
In a normal society,with people not blinded by religious and ethnic loyalty,there should have been daily protests by commoners,religious and village heads calling for Buhari to step down.
Is it until their villages turn to mass burial grounds before they demand for his stepping aside, assuming they can even still muster the courage then?
An average North African,despite belonging to the same religion as his president,will not tolerate 1/10th of what the North has passed through since Buhari came to power.The whole country would be shut down till he steps down from office.
This is the kind of blind ethnic and religious affiliation God himself frowns upon.

Nigerians are usually very cooperative against crime to humanity, these bandit can't thrive in the south. This leave a lot questions on the local and village heads in the north. Rip to those that lost thier lives.

bandits are foot soldiers of GMB. they were hired to wreck havoc in post 2015 election sud GEJ win but have turned their guns on their folks

Presidential spokesperson, Bashir Ahmaad your attention is needed here

Unlike you, I focus more on solving problems than looking for scapegoats.

This is Naija.....

Even in the president backyard? Anyway, was it not the same man that stupidly told a bewildered nation that "the activity of Bandits/terrorists have surprised me"?

Yet Gov.Masari and other NW governors were negotiating with bandits just as Mr.President is even recycling BH terrorists as repented, rehabilitated and deradicalized killers.

It is their business, those foolish Nigerians must get sense. 3years left so make una tighten una seatbelt for una next level. Una never see anything yet.
Buhari thank u for teaching them lessons.

Hmm

Lol after giving them amnesty. It's amazing how many people thought this was a great idea to gove these killers pardons. This just shows how useless security forces are. Its better to take up arms and defend themselves instead being a victim.
