A community leader of Kufana, Daniel Garba, who confirmed the incident to our correspondent Friday, said the attack happened on the night of July 4.

“The bandits stormed the community at night and killed three people while the fourth person was killed on his way to offer assistance. So far, they (bandits) kidnapped 15 of our people,” he said.

He decried the incessant attacks being carried out by bandits around the area, but commended the efforts of the government and security agencies operating in the local government area towards tackling insecurity in the area.

When contacted, the police public relations officer in the state, DSP Mohammed Jalige, said the command had not received the report. He, however, promised to find out the details.
