Bandits have killed a lecturer from the Federal University Dutsinma in Katsina State. Dr. Tiri Gyan David, the Head of the Department of Agricultural Economics, Extension, and Rural Development, was killed in an attack early Tuesday morning.
An eyewitness told Channels Television that the incident happened around 1:30 am at Dr. David’s residence in the Yarima Quarters, Low-Cost Estate, Dutsinma Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The bandits, armed with sophisticated weapons, invaded the community, shooting to scare residents. During the attack, they also kidnapped two of Dr. David’s children.
The Katsina Police Command spokesman, Abubakar Sadiq, confirmed the incident. “The command will soon release a detailed statement about it,” he said.
Dutsinma is one of ten security frontline local government areas in Katsina State facing frequent bandit attacks, despite efforts by the state government and security agencies to restore peace.
