Scores feared killed as gunmen hit Zamfara

Suspected bandits on Wednesday attacked two villages in Anka Local Government Area of Zamfara State , killing some people .
The Cable reported that the suspects attacked a mining site at Kuru - kuru village and also ambushed some people from the neighbouring Jarkuka village as they mobilised to bring help to Kuru - kuru .
A witness, Sadi Musa , said scores of people were killed at the mining site on Wednesday evening which forced the miners to flee for safety .
Musa said when residents from the nearby Jarkuka came later to join the Kuru - kuru survivors in burying the dead , the gunmen attacked again , and killed more people .
The state Police Public Relations Officer , Mohammed Shehu , confirmed the incident , saying , “ We are aware of the attack but I cannot give you the details until my commissioner is fully briefed . ”
The bandits had attacked Bawan Daji village in the same Anka Local Government Area two weeks ago and killed over 30 people .
They returned the following day and killed mourners at a graveyard .
This led to the deployment of air force and army personnel to the area to contain the situation .
The soldiers had since swung into action and killed several bandits .
