A witness reportedly said: “Some weeks ago, the herdsmen wrote to the community that they were coming to attack. The community reported to the police; now it has happened.

“Three people were killed while four were injured in the devilish attack.

“This is happening despite heavy security presence here, so how can we have confidence in security agents?”

However, the Kaduna state police command spokesman, Aliyu Usman, is yet to confirm or deny the report.
