Insecurity: Two Killed, Over 50 Women Abducted in Katsina Community
Barely weeks after a reported peace agreement, suspected bandits have launched a deadly attack on Chibauna community in Funtua Local Government Area of Katsina State, Nigeria, killing two persons and abducting more than 50 women.
The attackers, who attacked the community late Sunday night, also rustled a large number of livestock, including cattle and sheep, during the raid.
Confirming the incident in an interview with BBC Hausa Service monitored on Monday night, a local councillor, Malam Abdurasheed, said the bandits invaded the village shooting sporadically, creating panic among residents.
According to him, two people were killed in the attack, while several others sustained gunshot injuries and are currently receiving treatment in a hospital.
Malam Abdurasheed disclosed that although more than 50 women were initially abducted, some of them managed to escape and later returned safely to the community.
He appealed to the military and other security agencies to urgently intervene and intensify security operations in the area to prevent further attacks and secure the release of those still in captivity.
The latest attack has heightened fears among residents, raising concerns over the effectiveness of the peace agreement and the worsening security situation in parts of Katsina State.
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.
