Pandemonium in Katsina as bandit disrupts Jumat prayers in multiple mosques

According to a resident of the community who witnessed the incident, the assailants struck in the early afternoon of Friday, October 4, 2024, as worshipers gathered for prayer.

They stormed the area, firing sporadically, causing panic and forcing worshippers to scamper for safety.

“We were at the Jummat prayer when we heard the shooting and everybody ran. We couldn’t hold our prayers again. Thanks to the Security Watch Corps in the area that gave them a hot chase,” the community source told Punch.
