According to a resident, the terrorists stormed Tungar Zarumai, a community in Shanga Local Government Area, razed houses, and abducted 15 residents, mostly women and children.
Abdulaziz Yauri, a Kebbi resident, told HumAngle that terrorists killed five residents, including a disabled man who was burnt alive while attempting to flee the attack in Tungar Zarumai.
