Terrorists Shoot Imam, Abduct 13 From Katsina Mosque

The Katsina State Police Command on Sunday confirmed the rescue of six victims earlier abducted by terrorists on Saturday night in Funtua Local Government Area of the state.

The six victims were part of the 19 worshippers abducted by terrorists around 7.40 pm on Saturday from a mosque at Maigamji community in the Funtua LGA.

The 19 victims were observing the evening prayer (Issahi) inside the mosque when the terrorists swooped on them and abducted them into the forest that night.

The spokesman for the state police command, SP Gambo Isah, confirmed the incident.

He said, “It’s true the attack took place. The terrorists stormed the mosque at Maigamji while people were observing Issaih prayers. They shot and injured the Imam and one other person. Those people are currently responding to treatment in the hospital. The terrorists also abducted some worshippers that night, but a combined team of the police and the vigilante rescued two of the victims that night. The security operatives also rescued four other victims on Sunday, making a total of six victims who have been rescued so far.
