A dispute between two traders at a village market in Kokami village, Danja Local Government Area of Katsina State, has led to the death of one person and the lynching of another by irate residents.
Security sources said the incident occurred at about 4:00 p.m. on April 4, 2026, when a disagreement between the traders escalated into violence, resulting in the death of one of the individuals involved.
