Bandits have killed Salisu Ango, the liaison officer to Governor Umar Dikko Radda in Kankia Local Government Area of Katsina State and his first wife, while his second wife was kidnapped.
The incident occurred during an attack on Gyaza village on Friday night, Daily Trust reports.
The assailants also killed Ango’s first wife and abducted his second wife.
Reports have it that the bandits raided the Gyaza community around 10:00 p.m., raiding Ango’s residence, where they shot him and his wife dead.
Some residents said they heard the bandits say that Ango had “paid the price” for marrying the ex-wife of one of their members despite repeated warnings.
In another attack at Tashar Gamji, also in Kankia LGA, the bandits rustled an unspecified number of animals on Saturday night.
Eyewitnesses said the terrorists moved from house to house, seizing domestic animals, food items, and other valuables.
Similarly, earlier last week, bandits attacked Marabar Kankara village and reportedly killed three persons and injured five others.
The police authorities in Katsina have confirmed the two separate attacks on the communities in Kankia.
