The attacks occurred on Saturday, June 3, 2023, barely one week after 16 vigilantes and many others, were killed in Kanoma district of Maru local government area of the state.
Residents told Daily Trust that criminals invaded Janbako village and shot dead more than 20 people.
“Thereafter, the armed criminals moved to Sakkida community and shot dead five people there. Some of the slain residents have been buried,”
Meanwhile, Governor Dauda Lawal, who has described the attack as barbaric, said his administration would not fold its arms and allow criminal elements to unleash terror without repercussions.
“A directive has been issued to the Heads of security agencies in the state to as a matter of urgency deploy more security personnel to the affected communities to forestall further destruction of lives and properties in the area.”
