According to residents, the attackers launched their assault on a canter vehicle, an open van carrying a large number of people, mostly friends of the bride. In the chaotic effort to rescue the victims, three local security volunteers tragically lost their lives.
The source revealed, “Most of those the hoodlums attacked and abducted were those who were already crowded and riding in an open van called a canter vehicle. The victims were initially over 70, mostly friends to the bride, in which several others escaped after jumping off the moving canter van when the terrorists hijacked the van.”
Sabuwa local government area has been grappling with the persistent presence of bandits and their accomplices, often acting as informants.
Alhaji Basiru Musa, the Chairman of Dandume Local Government Area, confirmed the report. Although unconfirmed reports suggest that a few kidnapped women managed to escape, the chairman pledged to verify and provide updates. He clarified that, although the women were from Dandume, the bandits intercepted them on their way from Sabuwa Local Government Area at around 9 pm.
Both Sabuwa and Dandume have been among the local government areas heavily tormented by bandits in Katsina State.
In a related incident around the same time, gunmen reportedly from the Siddi forest infiltrated Tashar Nadaya, near the Gazari district border in Sabuwa LG. The criminals killed a commercial motorcycle rider and seized his bike. Additionally, they opened fire on a group of four individuals, confiscating their motorcycles.
