A member of the community, Jerry Datim, told journalists on Monday in Jos that the incident occurred Sunday night.
‘’Last night, at about 8:40 p.m., some gunmen attacked the Kulben community, killed 10 persons and injured one, ” the source said.
He said the criminals stormed the village and shot sporadically as residents scampered for safety. He said ten bodies were found after the incident.
‘’We alerted the security personnel, but before they got there, the attackers had moved from the community,’’ he said.
