Gunmen, suspected to be members of the Lakurawa terrorist group, have killed at least 13 vigilante members in Morai village, Augie Local Government Area of Kebbi State.

The attack took place on Sunday when the assailants stormed the village and attempted to rustle cattle.

Acting on intelligence, local vigilantes had taken cover in nearby shrubs and launched an ambush to recover the livestock and repel the attackers.

However, according to a local resident, Alhaji Augie, the vigilantes were unaware they had already been surrounded.

“As soon as the vigilantes moved to intercept, the attackers opened fire, killing at least 13 of them on the spot. The village where the attack occurred is just about three kilometers from ours,” he told Channels Television.

So far, six bodies have been recovered and buried according to Islamic rites, while search operations for the remaining corpses continue.

Efforts to reach the Kebbi State Police Command for comment were unsuccessful, as the spokesperson, Nafiu Abubakar, did not respond to calls or text messages at the time of filing this report.
