Alhaji Lado
Bandits gun down politician during Ramadan prayers, abduct wife, daughters
Rampaging bandits on Saturday night attacked Mairuwa village, Faskari local government area of Katsina State, killing worshippers observing Ramadan prayers.
At least two persons were shot dead while another sustained injury during the attack.
It was gathered that one of the deceased persons was a prominent man simply identified as Alhaji Lado.
He was suspected to be the prime target of the assailants.
A source who described the deceased as a businessman, politician and large scale farmer, said the victim was killed when he refused to take orders from his murderers.

One of the survivors of the mosque attack said that the attackers kidnapped the wife and two daughters of Alhaji Lado.
An eye witness said that the other victim of the attack was a health worker he simply identified as Sani.
“He worked at the Mairuwa Health Facility,” the witness said.
Katsina is one of the worst-hit states of banditry. Many attempts to keep the criminals in check have not yielded desired result.
