Barely one week after the killing of 26 people in a community in Zamfara State, gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram members, have again hit another village in the state, killing 15 people.
Public Relations Officer of the state’s Police Command, DSP Muhammad Shehu told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Saturday, in Gusau, the state capital, that the bandits killed the people in a village called Zakuna.
He said the village is in the Anka Local Government Area of Zamfara State in Nigeria’s northwest.
Zamfara State has seen repeated attacks in recent times that have left scores dead and added to the agony of unending attacks that have been blamed largely on the jihadist group, Boko Haram.
