Armed bandits have launched a deadly overnight attack on Doguwar Ɗorawa community in Guga Ward, Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State, killing two prominent residents and abducting at least 30 villagers.

The victims have been identified as Alhaji Bishir and his brother, Alhaji Surajo Doguwar Ɗorawa, both well-known community figures. One other resident was reportedly injured during the assault.

Local sources told TVC News that the gunmen stormed the village late Thursday night, shooting sporadically and kidnapping men, women, and children before fleeing into nearby forest areas.

The attack comes just weeks after local authorities in Bakori LGA entered a peace agreement with bandit leaders in a bid to curb recurring violence and restore stability to the region.
