No less than 20 people have been killed by gunmen in Dan Marke, Dan Sabau and Karya villages in Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State, Igbere TV has learnt.
Anas Isa, Transition Committee Chairman of the council, confirmed the incident to our correspondent on Wednesday.
He said the bandits came and opened fire on the locals before rustling some of their animals.
“We held a security meeting even today (yesterday) where we resolved to meet with the state government to further intimate them on the situation.”
“The bandits are more in number than the security operatives on ground and moreover, the terrain is a rocky zone with no good roads before security reaches them, they have concluded the operation, so it’s just to confront them squarely”, he said.
