Bandits Kill 12 in Dosara Birnin Kaya Ward Attack

On Saturday night, bandits attacked a family in Dosara Birnin Kaya Ward, resulting in the deaths of 12 family members who were trapped in a room that the attackers set on fire. The victims included Mallam Muhammadu Sani, his two wives, six children, and others.

A resident reported that the family locked themselves in to avoid abduction, but the bandits demanded they open the door. After receiving no response, the attackers ignited the room, leading to the fatalities.

The only survivor was the wife of Sani’s younger brother. Despite efforts by the local community to alert security agencies, including the Maradun Local Government Chairman, Sanusi Ahmed Dosara, no assistance arrived before the tragedy.

Residents expressed disappointment over the lack of security presence, given the proximity of military and police formations. Additionally, seven other individuals were abducted during the attack and remained in captivity at the time of reporting.
