Security agents have been deployed in Nandu Gbok community in Sanga area of Kaduna state where gunmen killed 10 persons and burnt over 30 houses on Saturday.
Spokesman for Kaduna state police command, Yakubu Sabo, said the deployment of troops in the community and its environs was to forestall any further break down of law and order.
He also announced that efforts were being intensified to apprehend the attackers with a view to bringing them to justice.
The police official appealed to residents of the affected community not to take laws into their hands, but allow justice to take its course.
The chairman of Sanga local government had said that 10 persons were killed in the attack on Nandu village.
Speaking in Kafanchan on Saturday, the local government boss, Charles Danladi, said that the attack occurred on Friday and 11 houses were burnt.
But he said that normalcy had since returned to the affected village, adding that youths of the area had been summoned and counselled against fighting back.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), a resident of the village, who pleaded anonymity, said that the attack was suspected to have been launched by Fulani herders in retaliation for an attack on them by indigenes of the area before the general election.
