Twelve Muslim worshippers
have been abducted by armed bandits while observing Tahajjud at a mosque
located in the outskirt of Jibiya town of Katsina State.
Tahajjud is a midnight prayer that is being observed during the
Holy Month of Ramadan.
A resident of the affected community, Mallam Fahad Mukhtar
confirmed the abduction to Channels Television on Monday morning.
He stated that the gunmen arrived at the mosque at about around
2:am on Monday shooting sporadically. They finally abducted the worshippers,
numbering 12, and took them into the forest.
Mukhtar, however, said residents have earlier been warned of the
attack.
“Prior to their coming, people were informed on so many WhatsApp
platforms that there might be an attack around 12:am.
“Our prayer is that May Almighty Allah intervene and look into
our condition in Jibia. This attack happens almost on daily basis. It’s not
something new.
“Our leaders and sponsors of the insecurity in our country
should recall that there will be a day of judgement,” he said.
