“Again this early morning (Saturday), they went to another village, Kutemechi in Unguwan Gajere and killed about nine men.

“The last victim was rushed to the hospital, but unfortunately, he died on the way to the hospital. All the villagers have fled and scattered into other communities where they can find shelter.

“The victims have been taken to the general hospital in the Birnin Gwari Local Government Area.”
