Suspected herdsmen have attacked two villages in Anka Local Government Area of Zamfara, killing several people.
The gunmen launched attack on a mining site at Kuru-kuru village and also ambushed some people from the neighbouring Jarkuka village as they mobilised to bring help to Kuru-kuru.
Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, DSP Mohammed Shehu said, “we are aware of the attack but I cannot give you details now until my commissioner is fully briefed’’.
DAILY POST reports that gunmen had attacked Bawan Daji village in the same Anka Local Government Area two weeks ago and killed over 30 people.
They returned the following day and killed mourners at a grave yard.
This led to the deployment of Air Force and Army personnel to the area to contain the situation.
