Three persons have been killed while three others were kidnapped by suspected terrorists in an attack on Kuta town in Shiroro local government area of Niger state.
Akilu Kuta, the council chairman however, escaped being abducted by the terrorists when they stormed some communities surrounding Kuta town.
The attack is coming 24 hours after the Councillor of Allawa ward in the Shiroro local government area was killed by terrorists.

The Niger Police Command and the State Government were yet to speak on the incident.
The Shiroro local government chairman declared a 7pm to 7am curfew in Gwada and its environs.
