At least 15 farmers were reportedly killed when bandits stormed Gakurdi village in Jibia Local Government Area of Katsina State on Tuesday.

The development comes hours after over 40 farmers were slaughtered by Boko Haram fighters in Borno State.

NIGERIA DAILY: Food Shortage Looms As Fresh Bandit Attacks Sack Farmers

A resident told Daily Trust that the victims of the Katsina attack were killed while preparing their farms ahead of the rainy season.

He said the bandits, who rode on four motorcycles, were initially headed for Gakurdi village. He said when they sighted the farmers, they began shooting.


“They came around 8:30 am today (Tuesday), using four motorcycles and started killing the people. Three were killed on the same farm and eventually it was discovered that up to 15 were killed on different farms,” he said.


He added that by the time the villagers discovered what was happening, the attackers had fled the area.

In a related development, bandits rustled over 100 cows at Danye Gaba village, Bugaje ward also in Jibia LGA.

Danne Gaba village is said to be about two kilometres away from the 17 brigade, a military barracks in Katsina.


A resident who craved anonymity, said the cows, belonging to about seven persons were taken away by the rustlers around 1:30am on Tuesday.

He alleged that the movement of the criminals was known since around 8pm on Monday and different security agencies were alerted but no proactive measure was taken until the bandits struck.

However, another resident who confirmed the incident said there was exchange of gunfire between the criminals and the security agents during the attack.

When contacted for confirmation, the police spokesman in Katsina, SP Gambo Isah, said, “Right now, we are there with the CP to access the situation.”

Buhari's dividends

I tell people that South East is safer that anywhere in the North.

People are killed in tens in the north while those killed in SE are far less.

NwaNimo1:
Starvation looming!

Are we not starved already?

If I see any BMCs here, I will report him and he won't be paid this month. All BMCs should boycott this thread. Let's look for anti Igbo/Ipob threads to masturbate on.

Northern life does not matter, Chronic unity beggars will not be found on this thread...

Are you normal!

Nobody will talk about these farmers that have been killed nonstop almost on daily basis in this country. Afterall, It's not in Anambra. If you point this out to all these paid posters here, they will say you are unto "whataboutism"! Yet, these are not trees, these are human beings being killed for fun while the government of day stands hand akimbo!

THEY ARE STILL STANDING ON TINUBU MANHOOD GIDIGBA

No point bringing up news like this that 40 farmers were slaughtered in the North, it wont make news, it cant be blamed on IPOB, so the usual people wont comment on it

They only remember insecurity when it concerns the South East because it gives them the opportunity to blame IPOB

There should be no more unnecessary shedding of blood anywhere.
Of course south east is safer than the north and there should be no basis for comparison.

Fulani terrorist clearing the whole north for their people to take over peoples ancestral land.

This is same thing that happened to the Fatima killed by militia in anambra yet they say twitter should catch fire

Militia do same every second in the north

Why this level of barbarism from people

Why have Yoruba's run away from this thread?


Hypocrisy is a disease.

Atleast 15 farmers were killed in Nigeria within the last 24 hours and this thread did not go beyond the first page because the whole of Tinupoos internet hoodlums are fixated on Igbo related threads! 15 farmers murdered! Does it mean that the lives of these ones don't matter or what?

Bump

Hypocrisy is a disease.

They're the ones fuelling anti Igbo threads here while pretending they are innocent bystanders. Go and check! 99% of threads lamenting "the killing of northerners in the east" were started by Afonja! One went back to find an incident that happened Mann months ago and started a thread about that. All to start reprisal killings in the north. Fight directly with the Igbo man, Afonja won't! He will rather be going through the corners
How can they be dodging this thread? Over 15 people killed in one swoop and everyone acts like it's nothing? They all want to die on top Anambras thread..
Very treacherous clan.

Vote WIKE ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Nigeria thesame yester, today and forever.
