Gunmen believed to be terrorists have reportedly killed 10 persons and injuring several others in a terror attack on Gurbi, Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon when the terrorists stormed the community and started shooting sporadically.
Gurbi, an agrarian and business community in Kankara, shares boundaries with several vulnerable communities within the Tsafe area in Zamfara State.
A youth leader in the community who does not want his name revealed said:
“The bandits began shooting before reaching the community, the moment our vigilante members heard gunshots, they went outside the community to engage the bandits,”
“Afraid of the unknown, several people ran out of their houses to escape being trapped. When the bandits saw our people running out, they followed them behind and started shooting them,” he added.
“I think some of the residents ran into the bandits while running out of the community and they were cruelly shot by the bandits,” he said.
Daily Intel Newspaper could not immediately get authorities to comment on the matter.
