Some bandits who struck at Runka community in Safana Local Government Area of Katsina State in the early hours of Monday, December 28, reportedly killed one person and abducted a newly wedded couple.
Katsina police spokesperson Gambo Isah confirmed the incident and disclosed that he is making efforts to contact the local government’s Divisional Police Officer for more details.
A resident of Runka told Channels Television that the bandits killed one Sama’ila Super, an uncle to the lawmaker representing Safana Constituency in the Katsina State House of Assembly.
Super was killed after he resisted the bandits’ attempts to kidnap him and was reportedly buried hours after the incident.
