Less than 24 hours after the Kagara school attack, gunmen have again attacked other communities in Niger State.

Some of the communities in Gurmana ward of Shiroro Local Government Area of the state, including Sarkin Zama, Bakin Kogi (Lagbe), Siyiko, and other adjoining villages were Wednesday evening invaded by gunmen, who stormed the villages in their large numbers.

The operation which lasted for hours was said to have recorded some casualties.

Reports have it that some people died during the attack while others who sustained various degrees of gunshot injuries were rushed to various health facilities for medical attention, even as scores of others were also abducted and taken to unknown destinations.

Defenceless, unarmed, and peaceful locals are now said to live in fear as they have been abandoned to their fate.
