Two other communities of Kinat and Mairana on the borders of Mangu and Barkin Ladi local government areas were also attacked same night.

Sources indicated that aside from the attacks at Sabon-Gari and Mangu, attackers unleashed terror on the other communities.

The police in the state have since confirmed Tuesday night attack on Kwahaslalek village as well as the burning of the market and worship centres in Mangu town.

DSP Alfred Alabo said the police were yet to ascertain the casualty figures and level of destruction as investigations were ongoing.

He, however, assured the people of the state of their safety, adding that normalcy was gradually returning to Mangu with the deployment of security personnel and a surveillance helicopter.
