Bandits burn man to death in his car near checkpoint
Bandits have set a victim on fire in his car in Fasakari Local Government Area of Katsina State.
Deputy Speaker of Katsina State House of Assembly, who is the member representing Faskari constituency, confirmed the incident, one of the four that occurred this week in the area.
The lawmaker said some other persons were killed while others were abducted.
“They attacked Kwakware village where they abducted 17 people, mostly women. The following day, they stopped a driver, killed and burnt him in his car,” he told the Daily Trust.
“Only yesterday, Tuesday, they killed seven people and abducted five, and the place where the attacks took place was just a short distance from a military checkpoint,” he said.
Gov Bello Masari led some elders to President Muhammadu Buhari last week over the killings in the state.
Nothing has changed since then.
Katsina citizens have started protesting the inability of government to secure the state.
