Four vigilantes have been killed by armed bandits in Rafin Tukurwa village, close to Dogon Dawa in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The incident occurred around 2pm when the vigilantes were ambushed on their way to Rafin Tukurwa after receiving a distress call from the villagers that bandits had attacked the area to steal cows.
A resident of the community, Ibrahim Hassan, confirmed the incident and identified the victims as; Aliyu Ibrahim (the very popular secretary of the vigilante group in Dogon Dawa), Bara’u Khalid, Alhaji Bukar and Malam Dauda.
Hassan added that Aliyu, Bara’u and Bukar were buried together while Dauda was later buried in the evening when his corpse was retrieved from the hospital where he died.
