No fewer than 30 persons have been killed in a fresh attack launched by suspected bandits on Tsauwa and Dankar villages of Batsari Local Government areas of Katsina State.
THISDAY gathered that the suspected bandits, numbering about 50 on motorcycles launched the fresh onslaught on the villages at about 6: 45, rendering many residents homeless.
The attack on the villages forced hundreds of residents to flee their ancestral homes to Batsari, the headquarters of Batsari local government where they perceived to be safe.
While the bandits met stiff resistance in Dankar from the security operatives and residents, they had a field day in Tsauwa where they sacked the village and looted shops, houses and rustled unspecified number of cattle.
Governor Aminu Bello Masari had granted amnesty to bandits after a tour of Fulani settlements and strong enclaves of the bandits in Rugu Forest on September 4-9, 2019, during which the famed bandits and forest commanders denounced banditry.

They knew it was coming, did nothing to intervene, and then had the gall to tell these people no revenge killings.
