Operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have killed four suspected terrorists and thwarted multiple attacks in Dutsinma Local Government Area of Katsina State.

The Command’s Public Relations Officer, SC Buhari Hamisu, confirmed the development in a statement on Monday, highlighting two separate encounters with the assailants.


According to him, NSCDC personnel repelled an attack on the permanent site of the Federal University Dutsinma (FUDMA) on Feb. 21, where armed bandits attempted to infiltrate the institution.

“The gallant officers of NSCDC successfully neutralised three criminals, including the notorious Ayuba Buzaru, who led the attack on the university,” Hamisu stated.

During the operation, security personnel also rescued three kidnapped victims and recovered rustled livestock, including goats.

In another incident, NSCDC operatives, in collaboration with the police, repelled an assault on the Federal Government Special Grains Reserve (Silo) in Darawa on Sunday, Feb. 23.


“The valiant officers overpowered the attackers, eliminating one suspected terrorist, while others managed to escape with gunshot wounds,” Hamisu added.

He confirmed that the remains of the neutralised suspect had been deposited at the General Hospital in Dutsinma.

Hamisu further disclosed that the criminals had repeatedly attempted to raid the grain reserve, which serves as a critical food distribution hub for residents of Katsina, Zamfara, and Sokoto states.

Additionally, NSCDC personnel foiled another attack in Gago Village, near Isah Kaita College of Education, dispersing a group of suspected armed bandits before they could carry out their plans.

“The NSCDC remains committed to safeguarding lives, property, and critical national assets while ensuring the security of citizens across Katsina and Nigeria as a whole,” Hamisu affirmed. (NAN)
