Armed bandits have attacked Ingawa town in Katsina State, injuring several residents and looting homes barely weeks after a peace parley was held with local government officials and traditional rulers.
The attack, which occurred on Tuesday night, was disclosed in a post shared on X on Wednesday by a security analyst, Bakatsine.
According to him, the assailants stormed the town in large numbers, heavily armed, and moved from house to house.
He said the bandits operated for hours, carting away valuables and spreading fear among residents, forcing many to flee their homes.
“Yesterday night, armed bandits attacked Ingawa town in Katsina State, moving house to house with heavy weapons, looting residents and injuring people. This comes just weeks after a peace parley with the LGA officials and traditional leaders in Kankia LGA.
“What does this attack say about the credibility and enforcement of the peace deal?,” Bakatsine wrote.
As of the time of filing this report, neither security agencies nor the Katsina State Government had issued an official statement on the incident.
