Recent attacks by bandits in Malumfashi Local Government Area of Katsina State have resulted in multiple fatalities, injuries, and abductions, severely undermining a previously negotiated peace agreement. Security analyst and crisis journalist Bakatsine reported the incidents via social media, raising public alarm about the effectiveness of such pacts with armed groups. The assaults targeted the communities of Unguwar Alh. Barau, Gidan Dan Mai-gizo, and Gidan Hazo in Na’alma Ward. Local residents confirm that the bandits breached a peace deal brokered to enhance regional security, casting serious doubt on the reliability of these agreements. Eyewitnesses describe a troubling pattern where bandits engage in peace talks with community leaders only to later violate the terms with renewed violence. “They came after we were promised peace,” said one distraught resident, who asked not to be named. “The agreement is broken, and we are not safe.” This breach has exacerbated fear and anxiety across the affected communities, prompting urgent calls for decisive intervention. Residents are now demanding more effective action from the Katsina State Government and security forces to restore peace and ensure safety. With trust in the peace process rapidly eroding, communities caught in this cycle of violence are pleading for stronger measures to protect lives and property from further attacks.
