The victim, according to the resident, was simply identified as
Sama’ila Super, an uncle to the lawmaker representing Safana
Constituency in the Katsina State House of Assembly.
Super, who was reported to have been killed after he resisted
attempts by the bandits to kidnap him, was buried hours after the
incident.
The resident decried that a similar attack was carried out on
Sunday where some scores of villagers were abducted at Babban Duhu
Community.
He noted that many locals were wounded during the incident and
were taken to a hospital for medical treatment.
