At least 7 persons have been killed near a military checkpoint in Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The bandits behind the attack also abducted many persons, including women and children.
The Deputy Speaker of Katsina State House of Assembly, SHEHU DALHATU TAFOKI, who is the member representing Faskari constituency, said that the incident was one of the four attacks recorded in the area within a week.
The lawmaker said some other persons were also abducted in the attack.
He said just on Tuesday, the bandits killed seven people and abducted five others.
In anger, residents of communities along Funtua-Sheme Road in Katsina State on Wednesday blocked the Funtua-Gusau Road to protest the spate of attacks.
