Again, Bandits Kill Woman, Abduct 3 Others In Kano Border Community

In Kano, a fresh bandit attack on Yankamaye village in Tsanyanwa Local Government Area of Kano State, left a woman dead and three other women abducted.

A reliable source in the area, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the bandits invaded the village on Saturday night when the villagers had retired to bed.

“The bandits invaded Yankamaye village in Tsanyanwa Local Government Area of Kano State on Saturday night. During the attack, the bandits killed an elderly woman and also whisked away three other women,” the source said.

At press time, no official statement on the development had come from Kano State police command but the Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin, who confirmed it in a post on his Facebook page, said bandits’ incursion into Kano communities must stop now.

Barau in the post, told security agencies to go after the marauding bandits who had been terrorizing the area in order to bring to an end the incursion.

“I have received the distressing report of the killing of a woman and the kidnapping of three persons in Yankamaye village in Tsanyawa LGA of Kano State by marauding bandits from neighbouring states last night.

“This incident occurred a few days after a similar incident in Biresawa village, also in Tsanyawa LGA.

I call on our security agencies, who have engaged the criminals on many occasions in the axis, to double their efforts to rescue these innocent persons and tackle the elements. They should take the fight to them.

“We will not allow these marauding criminals who are on the run from neighbouring states, following military operations, to destabilise our communities.

“This incursion into the area must stop forthwith. The security of our people’s lives and properties is paramount. No stone will be left unturned in achieving this, Insha Allah,” the Deputy Senate President said.
