Bandits Attack Buhari’s Katsina, Kill APC Chair

By Fola James

President Muhamadu Buhari, last week, gave an order to the military to totally smoke out armed bandits who have been on the loose in Sokoto state.

But few days after, the unrepentant bandits have turned on his state, Katsina killing the chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Batsari Local Government Area, Abdulhamid Sani Duburawa.

Katsina has remained the hot bed of suspected bandits, while efforts by the state governor, Bello Masari to appease the criminals including bribing them with large sums of money has failed.

The state’s helms recently expressed his frustration that the bandits have broken the agreement reached with the state government.

Now that Daburuwa has fallen to the bullets of the dare-devil bandits more pressure pressure are being mounted on the president to rein in the bandits.

The APC leader was killed on Sunday afternoon at about 2:45pm after gunmen besieged Sabon Garin Dunburawa Village where he hails from.

The magazine learnt that he was travelling to the community to attend to some family matters, when he was shot multiple times by the escaping bandits.
