Three persons were killed in Dantsauni village in Batagarawa local government area of Katsina State when terrorists invaded the community.
The terrorists in their numbers, armed with sophisticated weapons, according to a source, explained that one of the deceased persons identified as Abdulrashid Abba Manna, a resident of Katsina, was trapped and killed by the terrorists when he went to farm in the morning at Dantsauni village.

During the attack on Dantsauni village which is about one kilometre away from Babbar Ruga village, the terrorists abducted dozens of people mostly women and children while hundreds of people were seen running towards the ancient city of Katsina for their dear lives.
