Those killed were Wada Sulaiman, Amiru Saidu, Yusha’u Mohammadu and Osama Abdulwahab, the state Commissioner Internal Security and Homes Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said in a statement issued on Thursday.

He said the two other persons that sustained gunshot injuries and are receiving treatment in hospital are Ibrahim Jibrin and Abdulhamid Suleiman.

He further added that during the raid, the bandits also razed three houses belonging to Mohammad Jibril, Salisu Ya’u and Idris Muhammad.

He said a pick-up truck belonging to one Umaru Saleh was also burnt.

“In all, 20 cows belonging to two residents of the village were rustled and herded away by the bandits. In another incident, armed bandits attacked Marke village in Giwa local government area and killed one Rabiu Haruna,” he said.

At Kuriga in Chikun local government area, armed bandits killed two people along Buruku road linking Birnin Gwari local government area.
