According to a member of the vigilante group, the attack was more of a revenge mission as the bandits had earlier accused Nabanje of being responsible for the destruction of their enclaves.

Mallam Nabanje, the commander of the vigilante group in Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina State, has been butchered by bandits who also set his house ablaze.
 
The gunmen who stormed the community on Sunday night, June 25, 2023, also shot two persons and reportedly r*ped three women during the attack.
 
According to a member of the vigilante group, the attack was more of a revenge mission as the bandits had earlier accused Nabanje of being responsible for the destruction of their enclaves.
 
“The hoodlums arrived in the community in a large number and proceeded to the residence of our vigilante commander. They blocked all routes to avoid him escaping. After a painstaking search, they found him under a tree where they engaged him in a gun duel until he ran out of ammunition and was rounded up when he sought refuge in a compound where he was butchered.”
 
Spokesman of the State Police Command, ASP Abubakar Sadiq, who confirmed the incident said the report got to the police late due to downpour and poor network experienced on the day of the attack.
 
The PPRO however said efforts were ongoing with a view to arresting the hoodlums.
 
In another development, bandits kidnapped the Secretary of Miyetti Allah in Faskari Local Government Area of the state, Malam Wada Yau (PICTURED) and his wife.
