According to BBC, the tragic incident occurred in the wee hours of Monday after the local guards launched an onslaught against the bandits in Zuru Emirate of Kebbi State.
The bandits were said to have hidden on trees along the road leading to their dens and opened fire after the vigilantes were trapped in the middle of their attackers.
The victims have reportedly been buried.
