Some daredevil bandits have reportedly attacked and killed several people in Malumfashi Local Government Area of Katsina State during dawn prayers on Wednesday. The attack took place inside a mosque in Na’alma community during the early morning prayer. It was gathered that many people were killed in the incident, which has thrown the area into mourning. “Bandits have committed another massacre inside a mosque while the community was praying subhi,” a resident said. “Na’alma community in Malumfashi Katsina is yet another victim of mass murder by bandits,” a source said. “Babaro, who is known for such acts, was given a celebrity welcome just a few weeks ago in Kakumi,” a local source said. Reports at the time indicated that at least 13 people were confirmed dead, while others sustained gunshot injuries. The police later confirmed the incident, describing it as a coordinated assault by suspected bandits who opened fire on the congregation while prayers were ongoing. The attack drew widespread condemnation across the state, with residents decrying the repeated targeting of worship centres.
