Although the police authorities are yet to comment on the incident, the House of Assembly member-elect for Birnin Gwari State Constituency, Yahaya Gwari, confirmed the incident to newsmen today.

Gwari said the bandits stormed his community at about 2pm on Saturday and immediately opened fire on the innocent residents who were going about their daily duties.

He said some villagers sustained varying degrees of injuries during the attack and were rushed to hospitals, while most of the villagers fled from their homes due to fear of a fresh attack by the bandits.

Kaduna is one of the North-Western states that is worst hit by bandits who have continued to wreak havoc in the region.
