Suspected armed bandits, on Thursday, attacked Gidan Goga community in Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
Residents told Daily Trust that dozens of armed men arrived at the community on motorbikes firing at residents before they herded away cows and other domestic animals.
A former commissioner for Education, who also hails from the community, Alhaji Ibrahim Danmalikin Gidan Goga, told Daily Trust that the gunmen arrived around 1pm.
“Soldiers were alerted and they arrived even before the armed criminals had fled.
“Gun duel ensued between soldiers and the armed bandits.
“I can’t tell you the precise number of people who died in the attack now, but I can tell you that many of the residents have fled the community,” he said.
The spokesman of the state police command, SP Muhammad Shehu, could not be reached for comment at the time of filing this report. (Daily Trust)
