He said the bandits invaded the community at about 7pm and immediately opened fire on two houses, during which they killed six people and injured four others.
Achi further explained that the bandits operated for over an hour and left before the arrival of troops that were stationed close to the community.
The Atyap president, however, called on the government and security agencies to step up efforts in addressing the protracted security challenges in Southern Kaduna.
