The Katsina State Police Command Public Relations Officer, DSP Abubakar Sadiq, has confirmed that suspected armed bandits attacked a t team of the Katsina State Community Watch Corps and vigilante , who were returning from a condolence visit and fatally shot 21 people.

“On January 7, 2025, in Baure village, Safana LGA, Katsina State, some suspected armed bandits attacked a t team of the Katsina State Community Watch Corps and vigilante , who were returning from a condolence visit. The incident occurred around 16:30hrs, prompting a swift response from police operatives attached to Safana Divisional Headquarters, who rushed to the scene and restored normalcy.

“Sadly, twenty-one people were fatally shot as a result of the attack.

“Efforts are currently underway to ensure the arrest of the perpetrators of this dastardly act. Further developments will be communicated in due course as the investigation progresses,” DSP Sadiq said in response to questions from our correspondent on Friday.

Meanwhile, a resident of Baure, in a telephone interview, debunked reports that the Community Watch Corps and vigilante were on a condolence visit, asserting instead that they were there to tackle bandits. He explained that Baure is one of the areas under the control of bandits in the Safana local government area of Katsina State.

He said, “It is not true that they were on a condolence visit to the family of one of their who was killed some time ago. There is no security outfit in Baure village, let alone the CWC. Anyone living there is under the control of bandits.


“Bandits regularly come to the market, and the t security team was there to confront the hoodlums. I’m repeating, they were not on a condolence visit.

“Unfortunately for them, the bandits overpowered them because they had been informed that the t security team would be coming and had reinforced their numbers. This is why the casualties were massive. Many were killed, and many more were injured. The number of dead exceeds 20.


“It was during the attack that residents called for security reinforcements. They also ed the chairman of Safana and the police when they were under attack.

“Yesterday, in Wurma, four people were killed, including two CWC and two women, just seven kilometres away from Baure village, where the attack occurred on Tuesday. Wurma is in the Kurfi local government area, while Baure is in Safana.

“In Wurma, houses and shops were also set on fire.”

And the man responsible for safety of lives and property of Nigerians is helpless or possibly doesn't care.

Na wa o. Hausas are now endangered species. They followed these Fulanis to oppress us here in the South. Karma na really bitch. Anyone that have sided with the Fulani, saying they are one, just like the Hausas-Fulanis should just be waiting for their own karma. She is regathering her wotowoto power to deal with you.

Restores normalcy after 21 human being died? APC How ? Abi u all and President failed in your duty to secure life and prevent terrorism.

New year, new killings.

Naija na jungle. Japa is sure for me against all odds for my sanity as a person right now

And Tinubu is busy sending congratulatory message to Ohaneze president elect


Before 4 years insecurity might consume over 1million lives why hardship can take above 10Millions of lives

21 Gone & never to be mentioned again.

No arrest will be made and even if they are arrested, they will be treated better than citizens in the name of REPENTED BOKO.

Northern Nigeria is on fire from bandits attack.

The monster they used against Goodluck Ebele Jonathan istration is now hydra headed and is now hunting the whole region.

It is now an herculean task for the government and people to tame the monster.

Absolute silence from our ronu bandits because it didn't happen in the East and thus proving me correct when I say the average ronu bandit values the live of 1 Igbo man more than the lives of 10 other ronu bandits. Kill 100 people from other regions and the average ronu bandit wont cough, butcher his father but ronu bandit isn't bothered but touch 1 Igbo man and the ronu bandits invade the post to drool like rabid dogs

Over 200million Nigerians and yet 50 thousand people in senate and presidency are playing with your life and property in this country. No electricity, no good roads, no empowerment. No food , no water
