According to a resident of the area who spoke to Channels TV correspondent on telephone, the gunmen invaded the village on Thursday. They killed the village head and six others.
The latest attack has ignited tension in neigbouring communities in the southern part of Kaduna state where several people have been killed by gunmen since July 2016.
Kaduna State Police Spokesman, Aliyu Usman, has confirmed the incident.
He said that more policemen have been deployed to the village and other surrounding communities in the local government.
