Bandits on Thursday killed several people, including members of a vigilante group in Kankara local government area of Katsina State.
The spokesman for the state police command, Gambo Isah, who confirmed the incident to journalists on Friday in Katsina, however, dismissed claims that 30 people were killed in the attack.
He promised to provide the actual number of casualties after police operatives who had gone to the scene of the incident presented their report.
