No fewer than 32 people confirmed died as result of attack by bandits at a mosque in the Malumfashi Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The death was confirmed by the state government on Wednesday in a statement through media directorate of the government.
The statement said, the number of death recorded after a visit by a delegation led by the Secretary to the State Government, Abdullahi Faskari, to the Unguwar Mantau community.
According to the statement, the delegation was received in Karfi town by the village head and the relatives of the deceased.
“During the condolence visit, it was confirmed that 32 people were killed while observing prayers. The number of those kidnapped is still being verified, as a swift air interdiction by the Nigerian Air Force disrupted the bandits while they were moving with captives.
“In the ensuing confusion, some victims scattered in different directions, while others were rescued and are now receiving treatment in hospitals,” the statement said.
