At least 21 government-backed fighters have been killed in an ambush by bandits in Nigeria's northwest Katsina State, as reported by authorities.
Witnesses reported that as many as 25 people were killed in the attack, while many more villagers remain missing, signaling the pervasive threat of banditry.
Katsina has been plagued by bandits who raid villages, resulting in numerous killings and abductions, highlighting the persistent security issues in the region.
To combat the growing violence, Katsina State Governor Dikko Umar Radda established the KCWC force, comprising about 2,000 individuals, to assist in the fight against banditry.
