Two children, Safiya Muddaha and Nura Abdulrashid, were brutally murdered in Yarliya’u community of Kurfi Local Government Area in Katsina State, according to residents. The incident reportedly occurred after the children identified a man suspected of stealing goats in the area. The children were grazing with about 50 goats when the suspect allegedly entered and stole two of the animals.
Residents alleged that the thief returned and killed the children to prevent them from exposing his identity. Abdulrashid Sulaiman, the children's uncle, expressed shock at the act, questioning the society that allows such violence over livestock theft. Jibrin Yarliya’u, a relative, emphasized the young age of the victims and the devastating impact on their families.
The community is reportedly traumatized by the incident, with parents now fearing for their children's safety. Authorities have promised to investigate the matter, but no comment has been provided yet.
