At least thirteen people have been kidnapped in a fresh attack on Kurechin Giye village of Makera Ward in Dutsinma Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The hoodlums reportedly carted away property worth millions of naira belonging to the residents.
A resident who pleaded anonymity told Channels TV that the victims comprised 12 married women and a man.
The source added that the hoodlums were armed with dangerous and sophisticated weapons and invaded the village late Monday.
He also disclosed that the attack lasted for hours without any security intervention or reinforcement.
“On their arrival, the hoodlums were said to have been splashing hot millet-inclined drink prepared by the residents to break the fast on small children and women and eventually carted away property worth millions of naira,” the resident said.
The spokesperson of the Katsina Command, Abubakar Sadiq, didn’t respond to our correspondent inquiry on the incident.
