According to the police officers and witnesses, the incident cropped up in the Maru town, where bandits ambushed a great number of villagers.
In Nigeria, especially in northern areas, the national army has been confronting Islamic extremist groups and criminal gangs for several years, which have unleashed violence in the communities.
