Bandits have reportedly killed 15 persons during an attack on Hayin Kanwa village, Yakawada ward in Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
A resident in the community, Alhaji Mohammed Buwala, told journalists 15 bodies were buried on Monday morning.
He said: “Killings and kidnapping in Giwa are getting out of hand, as people are being killed and kidnapped daily.
“The situation is terrible because 15 more people were killed at Hayin Kanwa just yesterday (Sunday) night by bandits.
“Since Thursday, these bandits have been attacking villages killing people,” he said.
Kaduna police spokesman ASP Muhammed Jalige did not pick calls to confirm the incident.
Bandits attacked nine villages in the Local Government last Thursday and killed about 50 people as well as razed several houses.
