A local source, speaking anonymously to DAILY POST, revealed that the latest raid occurred in Beli village, Rogo LGA, where gunmen invaded the area around 1:00 a.m. on Tuesday. The attackers opened fire indiscriminately, killing a local resident and abducting the local party chairman, Alhaji Audu Fanka Salisu Yahaya.
Yahaya is reported to be an associate of the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Jibril Ismail Falgore, who hails from the affected local government area.
Reports also indicate that a young man was killed during the assault, while several other residents sustained gunshot injuries.
