No fewer than four people including a village head have been killed by Bandits in isolated locations in three local government areas of Kaduna state.
The affected areas are Chikun, Igabi, and Giwa.
The fresh killings occurred just four days after the village head of Konti community in Chikun local government, Samaila Yohanna, and four others were murdered by bandits.
The Kaduna state commissioner for internal security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan who confirmed the latest incident in a statement, says that the Bandits attacked Chikun local government and killed the ward head of Baranje community near Buruku, Dogara Yahaya, and another local, Reuben Adamu.
