No fewer than five persons were killed in the early hours of Friday in Fadan Karshi village of Southern Kaduna, Kaduna State.
The five were killed by gunmen who stormed the town at about 5am, sources said.
Over 200 persons were killed in Southern Kaduna in June.
The Chairman of the Local Government Area, Emmanuel Adamu Dan-Zaria, confirmed the incident.
Dan-Zaria said he and other leaders of the area as well as residents are in a confused state.
He described the attack as most unfortunate and unwarranted.
Dan-Zaria said: “We don’t know what is happening in our area.
“Not up to a month that about 200 people were killed with over 27,000 others displaced.
“Five people have now been killed this morning with a lot of people displaced again.”
