Bandits Kill Seven In Kaduna Fresh Attack
Armed bandits have killed no fewer than seven persons in Giwa Council of Kaduna State. They also set 330 bags of maize ablaze.
But the military said the bandits were confronted in a gun dwell, while several of them were killed.
The Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said that the state government had been informed by the military that several armed bandits were neutralised at the outskirts of Galadimawa in Giwa Council.
According to Aruwan in a statement issued Thursday, the armed bandits were neutralised after they attacked the weekly Galadimawa Market on Wednesday evening, where two vigilante members and five citizens lost their lives.
He said: “According to the security report, the armed bandits sneaked into the market around 4pm and opened fire on the vigilante, in the process killing Yusuf Iyatawa and Dabo Bafillace.
“While escaping, the bandits killed Danjuma Haladu, Shuaibu Isyaku, Isyaku Adamu, Shehu Dalhatu and Musa Kerawa.”
The bandits reportedly set ablaze a trailer loaded with 330 bags of maize belonging to a trader, Alhaji Hamza Giwa.
