Narrating his ordeal on Monday, Usman said that the incident occurred late on Sunday night as he was refilling fuel in a generator to continue his night business.
According to him, the attackers demanded that he hand over his mobile phone. “I refused to give them the phone, and they began attacking me with sharp objects until I sustained injuries,” he said.
He added that although they inflicted wounds on him, the assailants were unable to snatch the phone before fleeing the scene.
Residents have expressed growing concern over the rising cases of phone snatching and street robberies within Katsina town, calling on security agencies to intensify patrols to protect lives and property.
