10 KILLED IN ZAMFARA AS GUNMEN INVADE VILLAGES




According to THE NATION, gunmen allegedly shot to death about 10 people during a raid on two neighbouring villages in Zamfara State, the police said yesterday.

The motive for the attack late on Saturday on the villages of Makera and Usu was not known, the police said. It was also unclear whether members of the Boko Haram or criminal gangs were behind it.

“There was an attack in these villages in Zamfara and people were killed. I think the number is around 10,” Zamfara police spokesman Hassan Usman Talba said by telephone from the scene, according to Reuters.

He said the prime suspects were gangs of Fulani herdsman but that the police were still investigating.
