Bandits have attacked the Turare community in Dutsin-Ma Local Government Area of Katsina State, abducting local activist Ibrahim Mai Kaita.
Kaita, known for his advocacy for good governance in the region, was shot during the attack, while his two wives were also taken to an unknown location.
Katsina State has seen a rise in banditry, kidnapping, and terrorism in recent years, with many incidents going unreported.
In response, the state government, led by Governor Umar Dikko Radda, has intensified efforts to address insecurity, including the creation of the Katsina Vigilante Service, a community policing initiative.
However, recent actions by the kidnappers show that more actions need to be taken by the State Government to ensure the safety of people in Kastina state.
