At least 30 people, including eight children, were killed when terrorists attacked Naridon Village in Kamaru Ward, Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, on Sunday night.
The attack, which occurred at about 11 pm, left several others injured and houses and businesses destroyed, sparking condemnation from the Kaduna State Government, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in the state, Usman Bawa.
Naridon, a border community between Kaduna State and Ganawuri in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State, was reportedly attacked by the assailants, who shot residents indiscriminately and set houses ablaze.
The Secretary to the Village Head of Naridon, Dogon Rana, confirmed the attack to The PUNCH in a telephone interview on Monday.
He said 30 people had so far been confirmed dead, including eight children, while four others sustained critical injuries and were receiving treatment.
