A resident told Daily Trust that the attackers arrived in large
numbers, armed with dangerous weapons, and raided several homes before whisking
away the victims.
“They came as usual, shooting sporadically and breaking into
houses. They abducted five women, including nursing mothers,” the source said.
He, however, added that two of the abducted women have returned
while three others remain in captivity.
Daily Trust reports that the latest incident comes barely a week
after a joint military operation engaged the bandits in a fierce gun battle in
the area, killing 19 of them
Daily Trust further reports that residents of Faruruwa and other
border communities between Kano and Katsina States have continued to live in
fear due to recurring bandit attacks.
Several villages, Daily Trust reported, have been deserted as a
result of the persistent insecurity, with displaced residents taking refuge in
Faruruwa town or relocating entirely to urban centres for safety.
