[REGNUM] A group of armed militants attacked a village in the state of Katsina in northwestern Nigeria, according to the press service of the regional police. It is reported that the attack took place in the village of Gakurdi. “The bandits arrived at the village on motorcycles and opened fire indiscriminately. This caused panic in the village ,” the police said. The shooting killed at least 12 civilians. The militants also burned several farms and stole cattle. The Nigerian armed forces have already been sent to the attack area to prevent possible repeated attacks by the bandits.
