Armed bandits have reportedly raided Sundu and Biresawa villages in Tsanyawa Local Government Area of Kano State, abducting several women and girls in a late-night attack that has heightened fears across border communities.
According to Daily Post, the two villages lie along the Katsina–Kano border, a corridor increasingly exploited by armed groups despite a recent peace agreement involving Ingawa, Kankia and Kusada LGAs in Katsina State.
The incident was contained in a post shared by security analyst Bakatsine on X on Tuesday, where he warned that attacks appear to be shifting toward border communities rather than reducing overall.
“Yesterday night, armed bandits raided the Sundu and Biresawa villages of Tsanyawa LGA in Kano State, abducting several women and girls. The communities lie along the Katsina–Kano border, a corridor frequently exploited by armed groups,” Bakatsine wrote.
Bakatsine questioned that “with attacks now shifting to border communities despite the recent peace deal involving Ingawa, Kankia, and Kusada LGAs in Katsina State, what tangible impact has the agreement had on security in the northwest?
“Has it improved safety overall or merely shifted the violence to previously unaffected areas?
Security officials have yet to release an official statement on the incident. – DP
