Explosion and sporadic gunshots
rocked the quiet town of Daura, Katsina state, home town of opposition leader,
Muhammadu Buhari, Thursday night.
The attack started at about 10 p.m. and was still ongoing one
hour later. Witnesses said the attackers brought down a police station and
robbed banks and homes.
Some residents said the attack started around Daura Motel in the
city centre before the attackers moved against banks and a police station.
Another witness said the attackers freed detainees at the police
station in the town and then threw explosions at the station and prison.
It is unclear if the attackers are members of the extremist Boko
Haram sect that has been terrorizing northern Nigeria since 2009.
The attack comes barely 48 hours after President Goodluck
Jonathan declared a state of emergency in three northern states — Borno, Yobe
and Adamawa.
Katsina, also home to late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, under whose
watch the Boko Haram sect transformed to a terror organization, has managed to
remain insulated from the security crises in northern Nigeria.
The police in Katsina
were unreadable for comments Thursday night
