In an interview with newsmen in Kaduna, Alhaji Kimbi said the incident occured on Monday morning when about eight bandits holding AK 47 stormed Kimbi Village.

“The attack happened on Monday morning around 1:00 am and in the process the hoodlums burnt the vehicle to ashes.

It was gathered that many have fled the village for fear of attack.

But the community leader disclosed that security agencies have come to take stock of the damage incurred as a result of the attack, saying, many residents are going about with their daily activities.
