Katsina State Police Command has refuted reports claiming that bandits disrupted Juma’at prayers in Dan Ali village, Danmusa LGA.
The alleged incident, which circulated widely in the media, has been labeled as false and misleading.
In an official statement, the Command clarified that on October 4, 2024, at around 2 p.m., suspected armed bandits attempted to attack farmers in the area.
However, a swift response by police operatives, the military, and the Katsina State Community Watch Corps (KSCWC) repelled the attackers, ensuring the safety of the farmers.
The Police Commissioner, CP Aliyu Abubakar Musa, urged the public to disregard these fabricated reports, affirming the Command’s dedication to safeguarding lives and properties across the state.
