25 killed in fresh attack

 

At least 25 people were killed on Saturday night when gunmen stormed three Zamfara State communities, an official said. The lawmaker representing Zurmi West in the Zamfara State House of Assembly, Yusuf Moriki, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the incident occurred at
Dole, Tudun Bugaje and Kwangwami communities in Zurmi Local Government Area.
Mr. Moriki said 25 were killed, while many others were injured during the attack.
“So far, we have the record of 25 people who were killed during the attack, while many others injured have been taken to hospital for treatment,” he said.
The bandits attacked the villages on Saturday night after carrying out similar attacks in some communities at neighbouring Shinkafi Local Government Area, the previous day.
Saturday’s attack occurs about two weeks after gunmen killed over 40 people in another attack in Zamfara.
