Residents of Tashar Kaɗanya in Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State are gripped by fear after bandits imposed a ₦60 million levy on the community, threatening deadly consequences if the payment is not made.
The threat was revealed on Monday by security analyst @DanKatsina50 in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account.
According to the post, the bandits set a deadline for the payment, prompting many villagers to flee in anticipation of an attack.
As of the time of this report, there has been no official response from security agencies regarding the situation.
This latest incident adds to the growing insecurity in Katsina State, where communities continue to suffer from persistent banditry, including kidnappings and extortion.
Kankara LGA remains one of the worst-affected areas, and the current demand is likely to worsen both the humanitarian and security challenges facing the region.
