Guys, another Community Watch Corps (C-Watch) operative killed during yesterday's bandit attack on Gidan Gara village in Malumfashi LGA has now been identified as Abdulganiyyu Gifted making this the second C-Watch member confirmed dead from the same attack.
At first, reports focused on one fallen operative who died helping to repel the bandits and rescue kidnapped residents.
Now we know another defender also paid the ultimate price.
Guys, remember I told you before.
When people talk about insecurity, they often focus on the victims rescued.
But sometimes we forget those who died making the rescue possible.
According to local reports, the joint security team successfully fought back against the attackers and rescued six people who were being taken into the forest.
That success came at a heavy cost.
Why is this important?
Because community security personnel are increasingly becoming the first line of defense in many rural communities across Katsina and the wider Northwest.
Without them, many villages would have little or no immediate protection when attacks begin.
Bandit attacks continue to target vulnerable communities despite ongoing military and security operations.
And once again, ordinary citizens and local defenders are paying the price.
Guys, today another family is mourning a son who left home to protect others and never returned.
May Abdulganiyyu Gifted and all those who have fallen defending their communities rest in peace.
