The chairman, Birnin-Gwari Vanguards for Security and Good Governance, Ibrahim Abubakar Nagwari in a statement said that the merciless gunmen overran Kurigi village in Kakangi ward in Birnin-Gwari local government.

“The five people killed at Kurigi village were buried yesterday evening under heavy guards by security and vigilantes around 5.00pm on Monday.

“The armed bandits killed four people at once while the fifth person died on the way to Brinin Gwari general hospital,” Ibrahim said.
