More Than 20 Kidnapped As Terrorists Invade Musawa LGA, Katsina State
Armed bandits on Monday carried out a violent raid on Gidan Sarki community in Tuge Ward of Musawa Local Government Area, Katsina State, abducting more than 20 residents.
Information about the attack was shared in a post on X on Tuesday by security analyst Bakatsine.
According to the post, the attackers stormed the community, shot some residents, seized livestock, and caused widespread fear, forcing people to flee their homes.
The post further stated that the assault displaced entire families, many of whom are now sleeping in unsafe locations such as forests, graveyards, abandoned wells, rooftops, and open spaces under trees, as they fear further attacks.
Bakatsine noted that the incident occurred despite an earlier peace agreement between stakeholders in the local government area and the armed groups operating in the region.
“Yesterday, bandits stormed Gidan Sarki community in Tuge Ward, Musawa LGA of Katsina State, killing residents, abducting over 20 people, looting livestock and forcing entire communities to flee.
“Families now sleep in forests, graveyards, abandoned wells, rooftops, and under trees. This happened despite the peace deal between the LGA stakeholders and the bandits,” Bakatsine wrote.
Meanwhile, security agencies and state authorities have yet to issue an official response to the attack, as residents continue to assess their losses.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
