Residents of Jeri community in Kusada Local Government Area of Katsina State have been left in distress after bandits reportedly carried out a prolonged house-to-house attack, carting away valuables worth millions of naira.
The incident was disclosed by a security analyst, Bakatsine, in a post shared on X on Friday.
According to him, the attackers operated in the community for nearly two hours, moving from one house to another without interruption.
“Bandits carried out a house-to-house raid in Jeri community, Kusada LGA of Katsina State, operating for nearly two hours,” he stated.
During the attack, the assailants reportedly stole mobile phones, cash and cattle belonging to residents.
“Phones, cash and cattle worth millions were taken,” Bakatsine added.
Despite the scale of the raid, no deaths or abductions were reported.
However, the incident has raised fresh concerns about security in the area, especially in light of recent efforts to restore peace in parts of Katsina State.
Bakatsine noted that the attack is coming just weeks after a peace deal was reportedly reached with bandits in Kankia Local Government Area.
“This incident raises fresh concerns about the effectiveness of the peace deal struck with bandits in Kankia LGA just weeks ago,” he said.
