In an attack at Kabo Village in the Gurara Local Government Area of Niger State no less than three persons have been killed following an invasion of armed men who stormed the community in large numbers on Monday afternoon 28th March 2022 while shooting sporadically.
A resident of the community revealed that the casualty rate is expected to rise by the end of the day since the hoodlums were still on the rampage. Most of the residents of the village were said to have been hit by stray bullets while fleeing for survival.
“They (Fulani herdsmen) arrived this afternoon and started shooting at houses and anyone in sight.
“As we speak, three people have been killed. There will likely be more deaths at the end of the day because a lot of people were hit by bullets while running out of the village. The attackers are still shooting in the community.
“I ran into the bush with some other people in the village immediately we heard the sound of gunshots,” the resident named Kulus said.
This is coming after armed men killed a police officer during an attack on Bangi Divisional Headquarters in the Mariga Local Government Area of the state on 17th March 2022. More so, before the said incident suspected bandits killed four police officers including a divisional police officer and Four vigilantes in the Magama council area of the state.
