The spokesman for Zamfara State Police Command, Mr Muhammad Shehu, confirmed this on Thursday morning in a phone interview with Channels Television.
He said the gunmen invaded the village in large numbers and started shooting sporadically and in the process, killed four people while eight others were critically wounded.
The village is situated in a thick forest and surrounded by rocks, Kwaddi village shares boundary with the Niger Republic, a terrain which the police spokesman said made it difficult for security operatives to respond swiftly to any distress call.
