GOOD NEWS: One of the bandits who attacked Funtua town, Katsina State, last night has been arrested in Mahuta.

He was found with a motorcycle and an AK-47 rifle after security forces pushed the bandits out of Funtua following a gun battle.

Thankfully, there were no reports of anyone being killed, abducted or kidnapped in the town.

Kudos to the security forces for their quick response and courage. Their intervention helped prevent what could have been a much worse situation.

NB: Below is the photo of the bandit apprehended

On Thursday, the 27th of August 2026, we successfully held the inaugural meeting of the Board of Directors of the Funtua Inland Dry Port Limited to institutionalize its operations and jointly approve the commencement of its plans to expand operations.

Further to the announcement last year of the State Government’s 20% equity participation in the project, the Funtua Inland Dry Port Limited was incorporated as the project’s SPV, the shareholders' agreement was duly executed, and the State's share certificate was issued and announced at last year’s Katsina State Economic and Investment Summit.

In line with the State Government’s ambition to create a globally competitive subnational economy that is government-enabled and private sector-led, this project remains very critical to its objectives of strengthening regional trade in the Sahel, cutting transport costs, expediting customs checks, clearing seaport traffic, and bringing shipping work directly to Katsina State. The project will undoubtedly create jobs, increase incomes, and improve the livelihoods of the teeming youths in the state.

Residents of Kachia call for media attention as bandit attacks escalate

By: Zagazola Makama

Residents of Kachia Local Government Area in Kaduna State have raised concerns over the apparent underreporting of recurring bandit attacks and kidnappings in the area, urging major media houses to take notice.

In a statement signed by Rev. Fr. Agbo Gabriel, the community expressed frustration that despite enduring more than two years without consistent electricity, and relying on solar power where possible, the security challenges in Kachia and surrounding villages have largely gone unreported.

According to the statement, in the early hours of Sunday, September 7, 2025, bandits attacked Wakeh village in Agunu District, killing eight people, injuring many others, and burning homes and property.

The attacks, the statement says, have similarly affected Ankwa, Bishini, Katari, and other villages, leaving communities displaced, traumatised, and in despair.

“The poor people of Kachia town, who used to host internally displaced persons from surrounding villages, are now themselves being targeted,” Rev. Fr. Gabriel said. “Kidnappings from farms and homes are happening daily, yet media coverage remains virtually absent. We are forced to ask: where are the correspondents or reporters of major media houses in Kaduna and Kachia?”

The statement appealed to Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, to urgently address the insecurity in Kachia LGA, highlighting the area’s potential and importance to the state. Residents also called for stronger community-based surveillance, engagement of local leaders, and collective action to protect vulnerable villages.

Rev. Fr. Gabriel emphasised that local vigilance is critical at this time, urging residents to report suspicious activities and support one another in defending their communities.

“Kachia is a land of great potential and does not deserve such neglect,” the statement concluded. “Media houses, we need your attention. Kachia too exists.”

Zagazola report that the Kaduna State had not released any statement regarding the unfortunate incident.

ALERT: Hours ago, bandits attacked Jabiri community in Katsina State, abducting a youth and rustling cattle. Security forces swiftly responded, engaging the attackers and forcing them to flee the area amid heavy rainfall.
