At press time that shocked villagers are yet to collate the accurate number of victims as well as those abducted by the terrorists.
Katsina and Zamfara states have been in the front lines of violent assaults by the terrorists who have sacked several communities, displaced hundreds of thousands and killed over 2000 residents, while hundreds are believed to still be in the captivity of the terrorists.
In the last two months, the terrorists who have become feudal lords over vast territories in the two Northwestern states had entered into some truce with villagers who are forced to pay taxes to terrorists and risk being killed or abducted for ransom. But security analysts reveal that the terrorists have continually broken the peace agreements entered with the communities.
