According to information obtained by sources, the most recent assault has rekindled worries about the frequent breakdown of peace accords between armed bandits and local authorities in Katsina State.

Additionally, residents reported that the situation has increased dread and uncertainty, with many doubting the ability of such peace agreements to ensure security.
The impacted communities have urged the Katsina State Government and security agencies to intervene quickly and decisively to implement lasting measures to restore peace and protect lives and property in the area.
At the time of report, no response or statement had come from the state government or official security agencies.
