Suspected bandits Monday night attacked several communities in Malumfashi council area of Katsina State.
A man identified as Umar Isah was killed during the attack.
Isah was, until his death, a lecturer at the School of Basic and Remedial Studies (SBRS), in Funtua.
Residents, who spoke with newsmen, said they heard several gunshots during the night on Monday, and that the shots were intermittent and lasted for hours.
It is, however, not clear how many communities were attacked or if there were casualties apart from the lecturer that was killed.
