Residents of Tsiga, a community in Bakori local government area of Katsina State, have dissociated themselves from Mr Rufai Abubakar Tsiga and Mr Annas Isa Tsiga, the suspected masterminds of the April 14, 2014, Nyanya bombing in Nyanya, Abuja, who were paraded by the police recently.
The spokesperson of Tsiga Community, Alhaji Faruk Ibrahim Tsiga, said the suspects left the village about 20 years ago in search of almajiri education and had since then been living away from the village as a patent medicine hawker.
He added that one of the suspects, Mr Abubakar subsequently opened a medicine shop in Abuja where he employed the second Mr Isa, as a sales boy.
The spokesperson further stated that the people of Tsiga community were shocked to hear that two sons of the area were engaged in the dastardly act, but sympathised with families of the victims and the Nigerian government over the incidence.
