Some bandits have attacked Rijiya village in Gusau Local Government Area of Zamfara State, killing six people and kidnapped many others.
Musa Sani, a resident of the village, said the bandits who were on motorcycles, came to the village on Sunday night shooting sporadically.
Sani added that he was in the other part of the village when he heard gunshots and screaming of the villagers, who were shouting for help and run to the bush for safety.
He explained that when the bandits left the village, they discovered that they had shot and killed six people and injured many others.
However the Zamfara State Police Command is yet to comment on the incident.
It was also reported that the bandits are still attacking villages despite the security measures taken by the state government to stop the menace.
