Two persons were killed while six others were abducted at the weekend when gunmen suspected to be bandits invaded Kwarikwarasa village in Maiyama Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The bandits, it was gathered, invaded the community in the early hours of Saturday to carry out the attack.
The state governor, Nasiru Idris, while visiting the affected community assured that the government has put in place measures to avert the recurrence of the incident.
He said his administration has given the security agencies all the necessary support and cooperation towards combating the criminalities across the state.
“We will leave no stone unturned until we secure the state and make it a place where people will sleep with their two eyes closed, peacefully cultivate their farmlands, and go about their normal businesses without any fear,” the governor said.
