The state governor, Malam Nasir el-Rufai, on Friday condemned the attacks when members of the state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria visited him at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, Kaduna, but failed to give the number of those killed during the attacks.
He, however, said he was in a crucial meeting with security chiefs in the state over the attacks.
An eyewitness account reports that the gunmen stormed Katsat village when they were celebrating an annual cultural festival at about 9pm on Thursday night and opened fire on them.

He expressed his determination to work with the security agencies and other relevant bodies to stop killings in the state. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
