About 15 people were reportedly killed by gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen at Ambe-Madaki village in Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The attack came barely a week after some gunmen attacked Tattauru village in the same local government, and killed ten people and injured several others.
An eyewitness account said that the gunmen, who were armed with sophisticated weapons, stormed the village around 4am on Friday morning and started shooting sporadically and setting houses ablaze in the process.
He said that scores of residents of the area sustained varying degrees of injuries from gun shots while over 20 houses in the area were set ablaze.
When contacted by our correspondent, the former Chairman of the local government, Emmanuel Adamu, said that he was not in the best position to make any official statement on the attack as their tenure ended some weeks ago.
The former Chairman added that he was also out of the country as at the time the incident took place and therefore had no details.
The spokesman for the Kaduna State Police Command, Aminu Lawan, could not be reached for comments, but a security source in Sanga, who craved anonymity, confirmed the attack.
