CityNews Nigeria reports that Zandam village in Jibia LGA of Katsina State was hit hard by armed bandits who stormed the village on Monday.
The Spokesperson of Katsina State Police Command, Isah Gambo, said the bandits who invaded the community around 5 pm Monday evening were engaged in a fierce gun duel by the Mobile Police team deployed to the village.
The fierce encounter saw the bandits killing not less than five members of the community and injured five other residents as well.
The mobile police team, however, was able to neutralize three of the bandits though they lost one of their men also, a police inspector in the fierce encounter.
