People in a village in Nigeria‘s Katsina state are running away from their homes because some armed men attacked a nearby military camp, set vehicles on fire, and stole things.
Over 100 armed men attacked a military base in Batsari, Katsina state on Sunday night. The base houses soldiers, police, and other security forces.
An army official told the Premium Times news website that the attackers set fire to two army vehicles. No soldiers died, said the source.
A person who lives there told the news that the attackers, who came on bikes and a truck, defeated the soldiers after three hours of shooting.
After the attack on the army base, the armed men went to Nahuta and stole a lot of things from the shops and houses, including goods and animals worth a lot of money.
The attack has made a lot of people very scared. Many of them have run away to nearby villages to stay safe, according to reports.
Criminal gangs called bandits are causing a lot of trouble in Nigeria. They kidnap people and ask for money in exchange for their release. They have killed many people, even though the military has tried to stop them.
