It was gathered that the bandits also set cars, motorcycles and houses ablaze in the village.

A source said that nine people died on the spot as a result of gunshot wounds, while many others sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital for treatment.

Meanwhile the Kaduna State Government in a message by Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, confirmed the attack.

The government was, however, silent on the casualties in the two attacks but said the armed bandits had lost a number of their members to the superior firepower of security operatives.
