Katsina State Government has issued a statement indicating that at least 45 “Bandits” were killed in a clash with Nigerian troops in the Danmusa area of Katsina State in Northern Nigeria.
The violence followed an attack by armed gangs of men from neighboring Zamfara state who rode into Alhazawa village in Musawa on March 5th 2026 and attempted to steal cattle.
It is reported that the attackers returned the following day and encountered troops stationed at the army’s Forward Operating Base in Dan Ali near Maidabino ward, leading to a clash in which the army killed 45 of the attackers and an Army captain and two soldiers died in the encounter.
