Gunshots rented the atmosphere while worshippers scampered for safety following bandit attacks on multiple mosques at Dan-Ali in Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina State on Friday, October 4, 2024.
It was gathered that the bandits, who were armed with dangerous weapons, stormed the mosques, shot sporadically, and disrupted Jummat prayers on Friday afternoon.
The worshippers observing prayers at the mosques were said to have fled over the incident.
A resident in one of the affected areas said: “We were at the Jummat prayer when we heard the shooting and everybody ran. We couldn’t hold our prayers again. Thanks to the Security Watch Corps in the area that gave them a hot chase.
