Terrorists have killed Haruna Wakili, the traditional ruler of Yar Nasarawa community of Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State.

Daily Report Nigeria reports that five other residents were killed alongside the village head in the attack that took place on Monday.

Eyewitnesses told Premium Times that 38 other residents were abducted by the terrorists, including women and children.

Also, 10 other locals received gunshot wounds. The assailants also burnt down six houses, eight commercial vehicles and shops in the community.

The terrorists were said to have invaded the community about 11pm and blocked all entry and exit points to ward off support from security operatives.

Yar Nasarawa is less than five kilometres away from the Army Super Camp situated in Faskari. The camp was established by the former Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, in 2018.

“The attackers came prepared. I have never seen them in such number,” a resident, Auwal Liman, who said he ran into the bush during the attack, said. “While some of them were shooting indiscriminately, others were putting vehicles and shops on fire.”

The six dead residents were buried Tuesday morning in the community, according to Mr Liman.

“We are in a sorry situation. We can’t go to the farm. When we stay away from our farms and local markets, the terrorists follow us into our communities and kill us. Our lives hardly matter,” Mr Liman lamented.

“The terrorists were merciless in yesterday’s attack,” a resident, Abdullahi Adamu, said. “They burnt down a child. They took him inside his mother’s room set the room ablaze and slaughtered another old man in the same house. It was barbaric.”

The police spokesperson in the state, Abubakar-Sadik Aliyu, also confirmed the attack, saying;

“The Commissioner of Police, CP Aliyu Musa, had since deployed the command’s tactical, operational and intelligence to the scene, and currently combing the surrounding bushes for the possible arrest of the perpetrators for diligent prosecution”.
