The Kaduna government said bandits killed seven persons in different parts of the state.

On Sunday, Samuel Aruwan, the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, confirmed the killing in a statement in Kaduna.

Mr. Aruwan said, “On a sad note, security agencies reported that bandits attacked some people in Kajinjiri village, Igabi local government area, and killed two residents.”

He added that one person sustained gunshot injuries and was receiving treatment at a nearby health facility.

“Similarly, in Rago village, also in Igabi local government area, bandits killed two locals,” he further disclosed.

He explained that, in a separate incident, gunmen invaded Kutura station, Kajuru local government area, and killed three residents.
