Funeral prayers were recently held for the victims of a deadly bandit attack in the Doma community of Katsina State. The attack, which occurred on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, resulted in significant casualties and destruction of property.

• • The Katsina State Police Command confirmed 13 deaths.
  • Local Accounts: Residents reported gathering at least 19 to 20 bodies for funeral prayers. Some victims reportedly died later from injuries sustained during the raid.
• Funeral Rites: Mass funeral prayers were held the following day (Wednesday, February 4) as the community gathered to bury the deceased in accordance with Islamic rites.
• Context: Local officials, including the Faskari LGA chairman, described the assault as a reprisal attack. The bandits reportedly operated unhindered for several hours, burning houses and vehicles before security operatives could arrive.

This incident appears to be part of a wider wave of violence that occurred earlier this week, with simultaneous attacks reported in Kwara and Benue states on the same day.
