The Police Command in Nasarawa State has confirmed five persons killed in a fresh attack on Kadarko village and environs in Obi Local Government, on Tuesday. Mr Kennedy Idirisu, the command’s spokesman, told Newsmen on Wednesday in Lafia that the attackers invaded the village at night and shot everyone on sight.

It was recalled that Kadarko village was attacked on Jan. 29 by gunmen that killed seven persons.
