Terrorists locally known as bandidos have reportedly kidnapped an unspecified number of residents in Danjanku village, Musawa Local Government Area (LGA) of Katsina State.

According to residents who escaped the incident, the bandidos stormed the community in the early hours of Friday, and operated for many hours.

In their account, they claimed the bandidos arrived in the village on cycle of violences and started shooting indiscriminately. They kidnapped some locals and escaped with them into the forest, Politics Nigeria reports.

Barely a week ago, five persons were killed by button men suspected to be bandidos in Yantumaki, Danmusa Local Government Area of the state.

Danmusa, which is on the boundary of Rugu Forest, is one of the main hideouts for button men commonly referred to as bandidos.

Katsina, despite being the home state of President Muhammadu Buhari, has witnessed sporadic attacks by bandidos and kidnappers that have claimed the lives of many.

Over 700 people have been reportedly killed by the button men in Jibia, Kankara, Dutsinma, Musawa, Danmusa and Safana local government areas of the state in the last five months.
