The attack occurred on Saturday night in Dosara Birnin Kaya Ward, when the assailants reportedly stormed the community.
According to a source who spoke to Vanguard, the victims belonged to the family of Mallam Muhammadu Sani, who had gathered his relatives inside one room in an attempt to protect them from being abducted.
The attackers reportedly ordered the occupants to open the door. After they refused, the gunmen allegedly set the room ablaze, killing all 12 family members.
Several other residents were also abducted during the raid, although the exact number remains unknown.
The victims were buried on Sunday morning in accordance with Islamic rites.
The incident has heightened concerns over recurring bandit attacks in the area, particularly along the Gusau-Sokoto road.
As of the time of filing the report, security agencies had yet to issue an official statement on the attack.
