Gunmen have reportedly killed 14 persons and injured 17 others on Sunday night at Ungwan Paa-Gwandara village in Jema’a Local Government, Kaduna State.
Mr Joshua Paul, a resident of the community, said in Kafanchan on Monday that the victims were at a wedding ceremony when they were attacked at about 8:00 pm.
“Nine persons were killed on the spot while five died this morning at the Kafanchan General Hospital.
“Seventeen others including six children who suffered severe degree of bullet injuries are still in critical condition,” he said.
Also, Mrs Victoria Martins, a victim who was being treated at the General Hospital in Kafanchan, said that women and children were the most hit during the attack.

Efforts to get the reaction of the police on the incident was unsuccessful, but a source said the command would issue a statement later.
