The killers, according to survivors, also  threatened to launch another attack on the community soon.

A survivor, Malam Uban Marayu, confirmed to newsmen that the terrorists invaded Unguwan Liman on Sunday night.

“They came again, yesterday (Sunday), around 10pm and struck at the periphery of Birnin-Gwari, where they killed Maiunguwa at Unguwan Liman, three kilometres from Birnin-Gwari town.

“Unspecified number of people were kidnapped, males and  females. At the nearby Kwanan Shehu community, they looted shops only. May the mercy and protection of Allah continue to be with us,” he said. The spokesperson of Kaduna Police Command,  Muhammad Jalige, could not be reached for comment at the time of filing this report.
