A group of unknown armed men or terrorists killed three Muslims and kidnapped several people during an attack at Katsina mosque. This attack came as part of a violent series launched by gunmen in the last two days in Katsina state, Nigeria.
The most severe event took place in Yargoje village, Kankara Local Government Area when terrorists invaded Katsina mosque. They opened fire on innocent Muslim worshippers during Isha’s prayer last night.
According to Nigerian media reports, the unknown armed men invaded the mosque and shot worshippers. A witness told the media armed men walked in and started shooting fire.
