The attackers reportedly targeted a construction site in Gumki village, located in the Arewa Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
According to a source, the victims were installing a surveillance mast for the Nigeria Immigration Service when the militants launched their assault, killing them along with one unidentified individual.
