Four has been confirmed dead and several others injured after armed Bandits attacked Barawa village in Batagarawa Local Government Area of Katsina on Sunday.

It was gathered that the bandits who were over 100 entered the village which is 10 kilometre from Katsina metropolis at about 9pm , shooting sporadically into the air.

A resident explained;

“Nobody was kidnapped during the attack but three men and an elderly woman were killed in the process. They also looted several shops and houses and took away their goats and sheep as well”

The resident also revealed that the raid lasted for over 90 minutes, giving the gunmen who did not come on motorcycles, enough time to ransack the village.

Confirming the report, the village head of Barawa, Magaji Aminu told Premium Times;

“I am short of words I had never seen anything like this. They killed four of our people. Compared to other villages, I would say we are lucky but the trauma will remain with us forever,”

“The gunshots, gunshots and cries of women and children that I heard yesterday will remain fresh in my memory.

Even those who ran into the bush returned and came here because this is everyone’s house. They trust me, they rely on me but what can I do?” he  said, trying to hold back tears.

Abdulkadir Barawa, one of those who escaped into the bush when the bandits arrived, revealed that they were even informed of the impending attack.

He said;

“When I heard the gunshots, I was sitting outside my house with some people. I ran inside and told my family members to run. I ran out and went into the bush.

Look at my shoes, it was this morning I saw them outside my house. I heard the gunshots and one of the people who died was shot in my presence. In fact, he was running behind me when the bullet hit him.

 

“Immediately I heard the gunshots, I knew they had penetrated deep into the village. My initial reaction was to confront them, but I was alone. I ran home and hid my gun under the bed and was running out when they reached me.”

 

He said his life was saved in light of the fact that he denied being a vigilante after one of the attackers had distinguished him.

Rabiu Mamman, who was injured in the attack, said he and his friend were coming back into the village on their motorcycles that night when the bandits sprayed bullets on them.

Meanwhile, a 27-year-old Mamman, who is on admission at the Federal Medical Center, Katsina told Premium Times;

“I thought it was the end.

I was riding the motorcycle when we started hearing gunshots from every angle. It was too late because I only woke up to see myself here.”
