Terrorists stormed Bakurdi Village in Jibia Local Government Area of Katsina State on Tuesday, killing at least 15 farmers.
The recent attack comes hours after over 40 farmers were slaughtered by Boko Haram insurgents in Borno State.
Eyewitnesses said the victims of the Katsina attack were killed while preparing their farms ahead of the rainy season.
It was gathered that the bandits, who rode on four motorcycles, were initially headed for Gakurdi village when they sighted the farmers and began shooting sporadically.
A source said, “They came around 8:30 am today (Tuesday), using four motorcycles and started killing the people. Three were killed on the same farm and eventually it was discovered that up to 15 were killed on different farms.”
