An angry mob of villagers have killed six bandits in Sanga and Lere local government areas of Kaduna State.
The state Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, in a statement over the weekend, disclosed that the bandits stormed the communities from a neighbouring state to attack the people and rustle their livestock, when they were overpowered by the mob who beat them to stupor before setting them ablaze.
The Commissioner said two of the bandits had attacked and killed a businessman after dispossessing him of his money and other valuables at Fadan Karshi in Sanga local government area of the State.
According to him, on receiving the distress call, the military and police went to the location, but on getting to the scene, some angry locals had already mobbed the bandits and burnt them to ashes.
He further revealed that in the same local government, armed bandits attacked a community on Thursday night and opened fire on motorists plying the Aboro-Kafanchan Road.
He said the bullets hit one Richard Sabo who, while driving, knocked down one of the bandits and killed him.
He however, noted also that Mr Sabo who suffered bullet wounds was confirmed dead at Gwantu General Hospital.
Security agencies also reported that in the Lere local government, some bandits from a neighbouring state who specialised in stealing livestock were killed through a mob action.
They said the bandits were chased and overpowered at Domawa village where three of them met their end in the hands of the mob, but sadly noted that government received a report of the killing of a commercial motorcyclist, one Hudu Yahaya of Ungwan Nungu village in Sanga who was beheaded by bandits who escaped with his motorcycle.
