Suspected bandits on Saturday night killed about 14 villagers in Kaya, a village in Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State, when they attacked the community.

The incident happened around 6:30 p.m. when the bandits, said to be on a revenge mission, stormed the small village killing the victims and setting vehicles ablaze.

A resident of the community, who simply identified himself as Suleiman, said nine people sustained injuries.

According to him, earlier on Friday, some vigilantes in the community killed some of the bandits who attacked a neighbouring village.

”The bandits attacked our village in revenge of the killings of their members by our vigilante after abducting and killing one person on 1 and 2 January. So they returned in the night on Saturday in large number on motorcycles and killed 14 people,” he said.

Kaduna Govt confirms killings

Confirming the killings, the Kaduna Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, in a statement, described the killings as counter killings.

He said the military and other security agencies have informed Kaduna State Government that several lives were lost in the attack

Mr Aruwan said security agencies confirmed that several shops, five vehicles and some motorcycles were burnt by the attackers.

He said the killings and counter-killings occurred at Kaya community, which shares a boundary with Hayin Kaura village of Dandume Local Government Area of Katsina State.

He said the bandits were fiercely pursued by a combined team of volunteers from Kaya, and from Hayin Kaura village of Katsina State, in keeping with their practice of supporting security efforts in their respective communities.
