He said that those injured had been taken to various hospitals in Jos.
The killings took place a day after Governor Simon Lalong imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew on the local government, as part of measures to curtail the attacks on the villagers.
Lalong had said that the action became necessary “in view of recurring incidences of attacks in the area.”
