Again, bandits have raided Unguwar Tsamiya in Faruruwa village and the Dabawa community, both in the Shanono Local Government Area of Kano State, abducting at least 25 residents and injuring two others.
The attack, which occurred on Sunday night, came less than 24 hours after a similar incident in Yan Kamaye, Tsanyawa LGA, another community near the Katsina border.
The latest incident was reported on Monday by Bakatsine, a conflict and crisis journalist who covers insecurity across Nigeria’s northwest.
Bakatsine expressed concern over the recurring assaults in areas close to Katsina, questioning the effectiveness of the state’s peace deal with bandits.
He wrote: “SAD NEWS: Yesterday night, bandits attacked Unguwar Tsamiya in Faruruwa village and the Dabawa community, both in Shanono LGA of Kano State. Two people were injured, and at least 25 residents were abducted. This incident occurred less than 24 hours after a similar attack on Yan Kamaye in Tsanyawa LGA, another community bordering Katsina State.
“With these repeated attacks, one is left wondering: What is the real value of the peace deal in Katsina State, especially in the LGAs bordering Kano State?”
