Residents of Rane community in Dankadu Ward have been thrown into mourning following the killing of three people by gunmen who invaded the village in Bakura Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
The armed men reportedly attacked the village late yesterday, dispersing residents with gunfire and kidnapping several others.
