They also razed down the local market and several houses, Niger state police spokesman Wasiu Abiodun said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>At least two residents put the death toll at 37 and said it could be much higher, as some people remained missing as of Sunday. Residents also said security forces are yet to arrive in the area, contradicting the police&#8217;s claim that they have deployed officers to search for those kidnapped.<\/p>\n<p>Rev. Fr. Stephen Kabirat, spokesman for the Catholic Church of Kontagora Diocese, where the attack happened, told local media that the gunmen killed more than 40 people and that some of those abducted were children.<\/p>\n<p>The gunmen had been lurking around nearby communities for about a week before the attack, according to a resident who asked not to be named for fear of his safety. Now, survivors are too afraid to go recover the bodies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The bodies are there (in Kasuwan-Daji village). If we don&#8217;t see any security, how can we go there?&#8221; the resident said, adding that the attack lasted for up to three hours.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a
