Two men lynched by mob in Katsina over mistaken identity

Published on April 07, 2025 at 02:16 PM

Two men were lynched by an angry mob on April 6, 2025, in Katsayal Village, Sandamu Local Government Area of Katsina State, in a tragic case of mistaken identity.

The victims, identified as Gaddafi Isah, 35, and Badamasi Isah, 30, had driven their father’s vehicle to the outskirts of Katsayal Village for driving practice.

However, residents from nearby Yakawada Village suspected the men of livestock theft and raised an alarm.

Eyewitnesses told Zagazola Makama that the mob quickly descended on the men, beating them severely and inflicting fatal injuries before security forces could intervene.

The victims were rescued and rushed to the Community Health Centre (CHC) in Sandamu, where they were later confirmed dead by medical personnel.

The vehicle they were using was also vandalized during the assault.

Police authorities have launched a full investigation into the incident and are working to identify and arrest those responsible for the mob action.
