The armed bandits then proceeded to the community market and started shooting indiscriminately. The traders scampered for safety as the gunmen continued their assault unabated.

"They arrived in large number and on motorbikes intercepting and killing people who were coming or going out of the village. About 41 people were shot dead within a short period of time, " a resident Hussaini Abdu said.

Abdu further explained that a commercial motorbike rider conveying a woman and her three children was killed and his motor bike burnt adding that up till now the where about of the woman and her children is not known.
