JUST-IN: Bandits Disguised As Security Operatives, Kidnap 30 In Katsina

Gunmen suspected to be bandits dressed in military uniforms have kidnapped 31 villagers in a coordinated attack carried out in Tashar Nagule village of Batsari local government area of Katsina State.

A credible source in the area disclosed that the armed men in large numbers appeared in military uniforms inside the community on Sunday night and seized both women, children and men, numbering about 31.

He explained that the assailants had first besieged the community before sending some of their men through the main entrance to kidnap the villagers, while their motorcycles were left outside the community.

“I was sitting outside with some of my friends around 9pm when we first heard gunshots. We stood up to run from the place but the terrorists shouted that we should stop because they were security agents sent to protect us.

“They knew that when they said they were policemen or soldiers sent to protect us, we will believe them, and that was what happened,” the source narrated.

The source reiterated that residents were deceived and began to gather at the village square, not knowing that the intruders, some of whom wore military camouflage, were not security operatives but bandits.

He said, “When the terrorists had circled the residents, they told them to follow them into the forest. That was when I knew they were not security agents. I slipped out of the group and ran back into my house.

“As of now (Monday morning), we have counted 31 people who had been taken away. Some of them were abducted when they ran outside into the bush because several terrorists were stationed outside the village to lay ambush.”

LEADERSHIP reports that Batsari LGA and its environs have been under constant attacks of bandits recently, forcing many residents of the area to flee their homes to seek refuge elsewhere in more urban centres.

Meanwhile, the Katsina State Police Command was yet to make any official statement regarding the latest attack as the time of this report

You can no longer trust police or soldier when you see them coming in large group.


Here is one notorious kingpin bandit in authentic police uniform:

They came on bikes, but knew people would be suspicious (if they sighted soldier & police on bikes), so they faked a gun battle outside, then entered on foot to direct everyone to their den

Another day and yet another kidnap story.

Una never see anything for apc hand

The kidnapping epidemic ravaging the nation at the same time is suspicious.

Jonathan had Boko haram to contend with .

Buhari's was Banditary

Asiwaju has settled for nation wide Kidnapping.

Curiously, insurgency is gradually fading into oblivion.

For fear of sounding off like a conspiracy theorist, someone is using the instrument of FEAR to distract Nigerians from issues of governance with impressive effect.

The truth is always hidden in plain sight

Trying times...

Somebody should please help me with a good job around Abuja

NIN is useless.

BVN is almost like NIN.

Drone tech is still too far away.

All man for himself in this thing we call country.

APC is wof onto our beloved nation

Ance4Liverpool:
Una never see anything for apc hand

Your family members will be next since that’s what you wish for your fellow Nigerians.

Omg this is becoming too much o. If a senator is kidnapped today I assure you they'll find a solution today today

When Buhari is almost looking like a saint...
It means the lowest of all lows...

Those perpetrating this should target the political leaders not doing their works.
An average Nigerian has suffered enough in this thing called Nigeria

Tyyf

Nawa ooo

Again

I am 100% Obidient and can tell you without prejudice,
that the North wants to undermine Tinubu the way they dealt with GEJ

Tinubu has the power to deal with the North.

Where do we go from here. Perhaps Nigeria is too large to govern

This is APC full time business

Kaaaiiii batsari border town.. them go done carry them enter Niger republic

If it only happens in the core north is not a problem to me because is a family issue they will settle themselves but when they bring it down to other regions then is a problem. They should learn the way southeast is handling their own without disturbing other regions! Banditry should remain in north while ipob remain in southeast period!

Northern Nigeria have collapsed is due to declare state of emergency there, after 60years of squandering Nigerias common wealth by northern elites this is what they have to show for it, a wasteland and a completely lawless region were tens of thousands of innocent civilians are killed and maimed since 15years, they were busy pursuing Igbos around while their place was sinking, what u sow u reap
