Three persons were on Wednesday killed in Bawan Daji village at Anka Local Government Area of Zamfara state.
The Command’s Spokesman, DSP Mohammed Shehu confirmed this to newsmen in Gusau.
He said that the killing was perpetrated by gunmen who came in large numbers and attacked the village in the early hours of Wednesday, shooting sporadically.
“The villagers who were taken unawares were quick to alert a nearby mobile police patrol team which came and engaged the bandits in a gun battle.
“The policemen overpowered the bandits even as many of them escaped with gunshot wounds,” Shehu said.
He, however, urged members of the public to be on alert to report to the nearest authority anyone seen with bullet wounds and seeking medical attention.
