Suspected terrorists have killed the leader of the Butchers Association of Nigeria, Ruwan Godiya branch, in an attack in Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that troops of Sector 2 under Operation FANSAN YAMMA responded to the incident at about 1:25 pm on April 21, following reports of terrorist activity on the outskirts of Ruwan Godiya village.
On arrival, troops found that Sa’adu Amadu, identified as the local chairman of the butchers’ association, had been shot dead at his residence.
According to the sources, the attack was allegedly carried out by a suspected terrorist kingpin known as Dogo Musa, who fled the scene immediately after the killing.
“The troops swiftly moved to the location and confirmed the victim had been killed in his compound,” a source said. “The assailants escaped before the arrival of security forces.”
Troops were said to have pursued the attackers along their escape route, but no contact was made.
Security authorities have since intensified search operations and patrols across the area in a bid to track down the perpetrators and prevent further attacks.
