However, six Fulani men were later apprehended by some youths in Zankan village, about 10km from Atakad. They were arrested while trying to change their blood stained clothes with new ones awaiting to board a waiting vehicle.
The arrested suspects were reportedly taken to Manchok Police Station before some military men took them to Kafanchan.
The police in the state, through its spokesman, Aminu Lawan, confirmed the attack and the arrest of the six suspects.
