Armed bandits have killed 11 people in separate attacks in northern Nigeria, a community leader and residents said Tuesday.
In the first incident on Monday, six vigilantes were killed when gunmen invaded Kakangi village in the restive Birnin Gwari area of Kaduna state.
“The cattle rustlers killed six vigilantes in a gunfight to reclaim the stolen herd,” Abdullahi Bature, a spokesman for the traditional chief of Birnin Gwari, told“The vigilantes mobilised and engaged the cattle rustlers in a fight to reclaim the cows,” but were over-powered, said resident Abdullahi Sara.
The bandits attacked Yar Talata village where they killed four residents and moved to neighbouring Dan-Fili where they shot dead one person, they said. “We returned to our homes later and buried the five people they killed,” added another resident who gave his name as Bube.
