The head of the vigilante group in Danmusa LGA, Katsina State, Mallam Nabanje has been killed and his house set ablaze by terrorists late Sunday night.
The hoodlums, in the operation targeted at the vigilante leader, also shot two persons and reportedly raped three women during the attack.
One of the locals and a fellow vigilante from Danmusa who spoke to DAILY POST on the incident said the attack was more of a revenge mission as the hoodlums had earlier accused Nabanje of being responsible for the destruction of their enclaves.
He said: “The hoodlums arrived in the community in a large number and proceeded to the residence of our vigilante commander.
