According to the LGA Chairman, Akilu Isyaku, who confirmed the killing in Minna on Wednesday, the bandits shot nine of the victims to death, while four others were killed at a different location on the same day.
A resident revealed that the bandits targeted the community, alleging that members supplied intelligence to security agencies on bandits’ movements.
Niger State’s acting Governor, Yakubu Garba, condemned the attack, describing it as “satanic and callous.”
In a statement, Garba extended his condolences to the affected families, community members, and the entire people of Shiroro LGA over the unfortunate incident.
