Bandits attack Kankara hospital, shoot doctor, kidnap 5 in Katsina
On Tuesday night, a group of terrorists, locally known as bandits, launched an attack on the General Hospital in Kankara town, located in the Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State.
During the assault, the bandits shot Dr. Murtala Sale Dandashire, a medical doctor on duty, and kidnapped at least five individuals within the hospital.
The incident was reported by a source named Bakatsine, who shared an image of the injured doctor on the social media platform X. Bakatsine wrote, “Last night, bandits stormed Kankara General Hospital in Kankara LGA of Katsina State, shooting Dr. Murtala Sale Dandashire and abducting five people.”
He also highlighted the growing threat to hospital security in Katsina State, noting that within the past three months, bandits had attacked three hospitals, including Kurfi General Hospital, Mai Tsani Hospital in Dutsin-ma LGA, and Kankara General Hospital.
Dr. Dandashire, a native of Kankara LGA, had been recognized as the best graduating medical student of 2019 from the prestigious Medical School of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria.
As of now, it has not been confirmed whether Dr. Dandashire survived the attack. Efforts to reach the spokesperson for the Katsina State Police Command, Abubakar Sadiq Aliyu, for further information were unsuccessful.
