scores of gunmen believed to be cattle rustlers.
According
to residents, about 100 armed men on motorcycles on Tuesday and Wednesday
evening invaded Kurar Mota, Marabar Maigora, Sabon Layin Galadima, Unguwar
Doka, and Maigora, all in Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State>>>

hometown, Maigora while about 21 people were killed at Sabon Layin Galadima;
while 40 people were killed at Marabar Maigora; 7 in Kurar Mota and another 8
in Unguwar Doka.
