Two people have been reportedly killed and six others abducted by suspected bandits in Kwarikwarasa village of Maiyama Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
According to a Daily Trust report, the gunmen invaded the community in the early hours of Saturday to carry out the attack.
Speaking during a sympathy visit to the community, the state governor, Nasiru Idris, assured the residents that the government has put measures in place to avert the recurrence of the incident.
He also said his administration had given the security agencies all the necessary support and cooperation towards combating criminalities across the state.
“We will leave no stone unturned until we secure the state and make it a place where people will sleep with their two eyes closed, peacefully cultivate their farmlands, and go about their normal businesses without any fear,” the governor said.
