Some bandits have killed five people, including an 80-year-old woman, in separate attacks on three local government areas of Kaduna State.
The local government areas are Chikun, Igabi and Giwa.
The state Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr Samuel Aruwan, who confirmed the attacks on Sunday, said the state was informed of the development by security agencies.
Aruwan said some bandits raided several houses at Sharu village in the Igabi LGA.
The bandits, he said, invaded the village and shot indiscriminately, following which the octogenarian was hit by bullets and died on the spot.
