Spokesperson of the state police command, SP Gambo Isah, who confirmed the assault to newsmen, said the bandits, numbering over two hundred and riding on motorcycles, attacked the village around 10:00 am and began shooting sporadically, killing 15 persons.
According to Isa, the security agencies operating in that area mobilized and chased away the bandits before they could cause more damages.
