Terrorists, locally dubbed as bandits, have released a video showing women and children they abducted from Maidabino town in the Danmusa local government area of Katsina State.
The terrorists had on June 22, ransacked Maidabino, the third largest town in Danmusa, where they killed about nine people and abducted 50 others, mostly women and children.
Reports said the attackers operated for several hours unchallenged due to their large number, as they were said to be on reprisal mission.
During the attack, over 10 houses, 15 shops, and at least nine vehicles were burnt down by the marauding terrorists who operated from 10pm on Saturday till about 2:30 am on Sunday.
Days after the ugly incident, the bandits released a video clip of 5 minutes and 41 seconds, in which they displayed the kidnapped people, asking to call on the government to come to their rescue.
In the video, the bandits claimed that members of the Community Watch Corps, the state owned security outfit, were killing their wives and children, hence the reprisal attack on Maidabino.
The bandits also threatened that Danmusa town would be their next target of attack, which they boldly mentioned that it will done within a week.
Speaking in the video, one of the terrorists, clad in army uniform, carrying a machine gun, said not even the state governor could rescue the captives unless through dialogue.
“You see what your vigilante (Community Watch Corps) have caused you, and they cannot come and rescue you, not even Governor Radda could rescue you here, unless through reconciliation.”
“And if nothing is done towards reconciliation, this is just the beginning. I can open fire and kill all of you, and nothing will happen. We are going to attack Danmusa this week and we are going to bring their people here, you will see them. We will also bring your Community Watch Corps members here before you leave this place.”
Some residents of Danmusa have reportedly relocated to Yartsamiya town, a place already taken over by terrorists.
“What our people from Yartsamiya town are telling us is that the bandits have mobilised their people from Zamfara State and they have already started planning the mega attack.
“They are holding meetings, we heard that they met about three times to perfect their plan, and we are afraid that if no proactive measure is taken, these terrorists will wreak havoc in Danmusa.”
Another resident who also confirmed the impending attack, said almost on a daily basis, the bandits attack and kidnap people along Yantumaki-Damusa road, which is about 19 kilomettes long.
“We are appealing to the government to deploy more security personnel to this area to protect people from this impending attack and also from the daily occurrence of kidnapping along the Yantumaki road,” he said.
He added that although the security forces and the community watch corps are doing their best, they seemed to be overwhelmed.

Teenage girl allegedly stabbed parents to de@th, stabbed family dog, sent crime scene photos to friends
A 15-year-old girl from Groningen in the Netherlands was arrested after her parents, Johan and Mathilda, both 53, were found f@tally stabbed last Thursday, June 18, Dutch outlet Algemeen Dagblad reported.
The family’s pet golden retriever also suffered stab wounds in the rampage, the Sun reported.
The dog’s condition is unclear.
The girl took images of her slain parents and then shared the disturbing photos with her friends on WhatsApp after the bloody attack, the Telegraaf reported.
“You could see both of her parents lying on the ground with their eyes open. Her father was lying on the floor, and her mother was on the bed. There was blood visible and a knife,” one student told the outlet in Dutch.
Local police declined to comment further on the images, but encouraged people to never distribute such images online and report them to the police, the reports said.
The girl reportedly struggled with her identity and often pretended to be a dog, crawling around and barking on all fours with other friends in school corridors.
“She wore a tail, dog ears, and gloves,” another classmate told the outlet. “And sometimes she would make barking sounds.”
Johan and Mathilda’s relatives said in a statement obtained by Algemeen Dagblad that they “can hardly comprehend” the murd£rs.
‘We hope that everyone understands that we are deeply affected by the tragic events surrounding the passing of Johan and Mathilda from Meerstad,” family and friends said in a statement through an aid organization.
“But the support and sympathy we have received from many do us good and are heartwarming.”
An investigation into the slayings remains ongoing.

OGTV broadcaster: Police recover stolen Lexus RX300 as CP vows “no stone unturned” in murder probe
Ogun State Police Command says it has recovered the Lexus RX300 stolen from the home of slain ex-OGTV broadcaster Mrs Kitan Oyesiku and her security guard in Iyana Agodo Village, Owode-Egba.
The recovery happened during night operations, the command confirmed Monday.
—CP walks the scene himself—
Commissioner of Police Bode Ojajuni visited the crime scene for an on-the-spot assessment. He inspected the premises and got briefings from detectives handling the case.
“CP Ojajuni reiterated the Command’s resolve to leave no stone unturned in unraveling the circumstances surrounding the incident and ensuring that those responsible are identified, apprehended, and brought to justice,” Police PPRO Oluseyi Babaseyi said in a statement.
The visit, according to police, was to evaluate progress in the investigation into the double murder that has rattled the Owode-Egba community.
—What happened that night—
PUNCH Online had reported that a resident raised the alarm over suspicious movements around Oyesiku’s residence. When operatives arrived, they found signs of forced entry.
Inside, the security guard was found dead at his post. Oyesiku’s body was later discovered inside the apartment. Her Lexus RX300 was missing.
Police now say the vehicle has been secured and will serve as key evidence. “It is worthy of note that the vehicle earlier reported missing from the residence, a Lexus RX300, has been recovered by police operatives during the night hours,” Babaseyi confirmed.
—“Intensive investigation ongoing”–
Ojajuni commiserated with Oyesiku’s family and assured Ogun residents that “all available resources are being deployed to track down the perpetrators.”
For now, no arrests have been announced. But with the car recovered and the CP personally monitoring the case, police say they’re closing in.
Oyesiku, a retired broadcaster with Ogun State Television, was remembered by colleagues as a calm voice on air. Her death, alongside her guard’s, has renewed calls for better security for elderly residents living alone in semi-urban areas. [The Punch report rewritten]
