15 people were killed Friday by armed men in attacks in the state of Kadona (northwest of Nigeria), a government official announced.
Criminal gangs are known locally as “road veil” in the northwest and central Nigeria, where the residents terrorize, attack the villages, steal livestock and kidnap residents to obtain a ransom and burn houses after looting.
The militants carried out attacks on four villages located in three different provinces, who killed 15 people and injured others, according to the internal affairs official in the state of Kadona Samuel Arwan, in a statement.
He said that the aggressors attacked the village of Rafan Sarki, located in the province of Gio, where they killed 11 people, including a woman.
Also, two people were killed and others were injured in these attacks on the villages of Sibia and Karami, which were located in the Cagoro Province, according to the same official, who indicated that two other people were killed in the village of Damari in Birin Gawari Province.
Kaduna is one of the most affected states of the “road cutting” in northern Nigeria..
