Rafin Dadi village in Kanikon Chiefdom in Jemaa Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Monday evening came under heavy attack by gunmen suspected to be herdsmen.

A report by Channels Television said that the gunmen invaded the community located in the troubled southern part of the state at about 6:00pm on Monday.

“A resident of the community told our correspondent that the gunmen invaded the community from a nearby forest and started shooting sporadically all over the place. He added that the attack created panic as residents scampered for safety,” the report said.

The attack is coming barely one week after gunmen attacked Bankin Kogi and Attakad communities in Jemaa and Kaura council areas of the state.
