Bandits have invaded a mosque at the Sabon Layi, Kakangi ward in Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, killing the Imam and one worshipper identified as Kabir.
The attack, which happened in the early hours of Tuesday, left two others sustaining various degrees of injuries.
Two worshippers who sustained serious injuries from the attack were identified as Bilya Mairabo and Ashiru Mairabo.
A community leader, Zubair AbduRrauf, who confirmed the incident to Punch, said the bandits attacked Birnin-Gwari communities almost daily, killing and abducting residents, especially farmers.
According to him, the situation is more worrisome on the Birnin-Gwari-Kaduna highway, which he said has become a nightmare for travellers and other road users.
The police are yet to comment on the incident as at the time of filing this report.
