“We suspected they traced the vigilante leader to the mosque to attack him. We were inside the mosque praying when they arrived and started shooting. Five persons were killed in the mosque, while a driver who brought food items to the village was also killed. The other person was killed at a nearby village,” he said.This was just as he said that one of the victims with gunshot wounds was rushed to the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital in Kano State and responding to treatment.
The acting Police Public Relations Officer of the Kaduna State Police Command, Mansir Alhassan, also confirmed the attack to our correspondent on telephone on Saturday. Alhassan also used the opportunity to call on the public to report any suspicious movement or the presence of strange faces within their vicinities for prompt response by the Police Force.
According to him, the bandits were spotted in the village while on surveillance earlier in the day but none of the villagers could alert the appropriate security agency before the hoodlum struck in the night.
