At least 25 residents were abducted, and two others injured following a recent bandit attack on Unguwar Tsamiya in Faruruwa village and the nearby Dabawa community in Shanono Local Government Area of Kano State. The attack occurred on Sunday night, shortly after a similar assault on the Yan Kamaye community in Tsanyawa Local Government Area, another border settlement near Katsina State, where three people were abducted.
Reports indicate that the attackers stormed the communities late at night, shooting sporadically and causing panic before kidnapping residents and injuring others. Ammar Wakili, the spokesperson for the Chairman of Shanono Local Government Area, confirmed the attack, stating that authorities were still verifying the full details.
The repeated attacks have heightened fear among residents of border communities between Kano and Katsina states, who have increasingly faced attacks by bandits in recent months.
