Terrorists abducted one resident from Sundu village and a woman from nearby Yanoko in Rogo Local Government Area of Kano State as they struck under the cover of darkness.
The attackers slipped into both communities late Wednesday night, snatching their victims before anyone could raise an alarm.
Reports confirm no shots were fired and no one was injured, yet the swift operation left villagers shaken.
Security analyst Bakatsine explained how the terrorists pull off these raids so easily.
He pointed to major gaps in local intelligence and weak rural policing that let them move freely.
Without strong early-warning systems or reliable communication in the villages, he said, the darkness gives them a perfect edge.
As a result, residents now avoid stepping outside after sunset and beg the state government to step in with real protection.
They also worry that efforts to form vigilante groups fall flat without proper training or official backing.
Local authorities have stayed quiet so far.
Police have not confirmed the abductions or announced any arrests.
Sahara Reporters reached out to Kano State Police spokesperson Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa for comment, but calls and messages went unanswered.
This fresh attack adds to growing worries about rural insecurity spreading across Kano, leaving families desperate for faster action before more lives get upended.
