Terrorists have killed an aide to the Katsina State Governor, Sanusi Ango Gyaza, in a brutal attack on his residence in Gyaza, Kankia Local Government Area (LGA). The incident, which took place on Friday night, also claimed the life of his wife.
Gyaza, a former Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) for Kankia LGA, was reportedly targeted by the terrorists, who stormed his home and carried out the deadly assault. During the raid, the terrorists also abducted his other wife, leaving the community in shock and mourning.
The tragic incident has heightened concerns about the escalating insecurity in Katsina State and other parts of Nigeria, where terrorists activities, including kidnappings and killings, have become increasingly rampant. The attack on Gyaza, a prominent figure in the region, underscores the growing audacity of these criminals and the pervasive sense of fear among residents.
