The victims were identified as two security operatives and an expatriate working on the road construction project, while two civilians sustained gunshot wounds during the attack.
The incident occurred at a construction site in Gubba Village, Andarai District, Maiyama LGA, according to the Kebbi State Police Public Relations Officer, Superintendent Bashir Usman.
Usman said the attackers, suspected to be Lakurawa terrorists operating from the Kebbe axis of neighbouring Sokoto State, invaded the construction site and opened fire on workers.
He added that two civilians were also injured in the attack and were immediately evacuated to a hospital for medical treatment.
The police spokesperson further disclosed that another attack by suspected terrorists was recorded the same day along the Birnin Malam axis but was successfully repelled by police operatives.
According to him, joint security forces have responded to the incidents, while tactical teams have been deployed to strengthen security and prevent further attacks in the affected areas.
Following the incident, construction activities at the affected site were suspended as security agencies intensified surveillance and deployed additional personnel to protect workers and residents.
The police assured workers on the project of continued security protection and urged them to remain calm as efforts were being made to safeguard lives and property.
