Gunmen suspected to be bandits have reportedly killed eight people across five local government areas in Kaduna state.
Specifically, they were said to have attacked Kajuru, Chikun, Giwa, Kauru, and Igabi local government areas in the early hours of Sunday.
It was gathered that in Kajuru, gunmen invaded the Buda community and opened fire on the residents, killing three people, while many others sustained various degrees of injury.
Similarly, it was gathered that another middle-aged was hacked to death by unknown persons in the area.
Meanwhile, some unconfirmed number of people were said to have been abducted from their homes during the operations in various communities in the area.
In the other local governments, the gunmen also killed four people, while some other residents have been declared missing.
Shortly after the attacks, the state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, condemned the act, describing the incidents as actions of criminality and sheer evil.
A statement by the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, on Sunday, said the Governor received briefs on the situations in Kidandan, Rigachikun, Kuyanbana, Buruku general area, and also Buda, within the five LGAs listed, and condoled with families who lost their loved ones in the attacks.
