This came after it was widely reported that a group of terrorists successfully dislodged a joint military base meant to protect Nahuta community on Sunday.
Residents of Nahuta community in Katsina State's Batsari Local Government Area have fled their houses in fear of an attack by terrorists.
This was seen in pictures shared by a journalist, Mohammed Babangida, on X platform showing how Nahuta dwellers, including women and children, were carrying their belongings and moving out of the community.
“Residents of Nahuta in Batsari Local Government of Katsina State fleeing to safety,” Mohammad captioned the pictures.
This came after it was widely reported that a group of terrorists successfully dislodged a joint military base meant to protect Nahuta community on Sunday.
Katsina State is the state of origin of the immediate past Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari, who struggled in vain for eight years to curtail the insurgency and banditry ravaging the northern region of the country.
It was gathered that the terrorists invaded the military base around 11:30pm on Sunday, setting two Hilux vehicles ablaze and seizing numerous cattle and valuable properties belonging to the community residents.
Terrorists armed with high-powered weaponry such as AK-47 rifles and General Purpose Machines (RPG) launched a well-coordinated assault on the base.
The terrorists also destroyed military vehicles and other important weapons.
In December 2023, the police command in Katsina had also reported how four farmers were killed and eight abducted after terrorists launched an attack on the community.
This was disclosed to newsmen by Abubakar Aliyu, police spokesperson in the state, revealing that the terrorists attacked the farmers while they were harvesting their crops on their farms.
