Following the heartless attacks on Katsina communities by Islamic terrorists, over 100 residents have been confirmed killed even as more people were said to be missing in last Thursday/Friday’s clash between Yan Sakai vigilantes and terrorists at Yargoje Forest, Kankara LGA, Katsina State.

Community sources told our newsmen during when a delegation of the state government headed by the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Muntari Lawal visited the area to condole with the families of the victims.

An indigene of neighbouring Guga Village, Abubakar Hashim stated: “Even on Friday, 63 people were buried, and also on Saturday, we saw another 30 dead bodies being in a cantre truck even as more are still being anticipated.
