Bandits on Saturday killed at least eight farmers in Buruku and Udawa villages of Chikun Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State.
Buruku and Udawa are located along Kaduna-Birnin Gwari highway, an area ravaged by constant bandits’ invasion.
Sources confirmed that the farmers were killed while working on their farmland.
A resident of the area and a community leader, Muhammed Umar, who confirmed the attacks on Saturday said: “Five farmers were killed in Buruku while three were killed in Udawa. We are tired of burying our men daily. We need help.”
