Suspected bandits have shot dead two farmers and escaped with their motorcycles in Kurmin-Kare village in Kachia LGA of Kaduna State.

A community leader, who disclosed this to our reporter through telephone on Tuesday, gave the names of the deceased farmers as Audu Bala and Jonathan Moses.

He said the farmers were working on their farms when two of the fleeing bandits came from the bush, opened fire on them and killed them on the spot before escaping with their bikes.
