While narrating the ordeal, Isah said: “Bandits, carrying sophisticated weapons, invaded the village around 11:30 pm (Wednesday) shooting sporadically.

“On arrival at the scene of the attack, the DPO in the company of some military personnel engaged the terrorists in a gun duel and chase them away while trying to escape with some people and animals. One woman is still missing from the attack.”

SP Isah attributed the recent surge in attack experienced in the state to the ongoing military operations in Sokoto and Zamfara which is causing the criminals to flee to Katsina.

However, he assured that security operatives are working round the clock to see how to contain them.”
