Three people have been reportedly killed by bandits during an attack in Kanzanna village, Tilli District of Bunza Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The chairman of Bunza Local Government, Umar Mohammed, disclosed this when the state governor, Nasiru Idris, visited the affected village.
He added that some of the communities in the local government had experienced a series of bandits’ attacks before the recent one.
He appealed to the government to deploy security agents in the area to check the frequent attacks.
Reacting to the attacks, the governor described the situation as unfortunate, urging security agents to put more effort into fighting insecurity in the state.
He enjoined people to support the security agents with credible intelligence to tackle the bandits.
The district head of Tilli, Mohammed Jabbo, said the proximity of the community to the Niger and Benin Republics makes it vulnerable to bandit attacks.
The governor thereafter donated the sum of N3 million to the families of the three persons that lost their lives, additional N3 million to the people of the area, and N1m to the two district heads.
