The groups were allegedly PDP and APC supporters in the state, according to the police.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Gusau received the confirmation in an SMS message from SP Muhammad Shehu, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), on Sunday.
"Discreet inquiry into the case has begun geared at ensuring that the offenders suffer the full wrath of the law," Shehu said after confirming that the command had received a report of the killing.
The PPRO, however, declined further comment on the incident.
The PPRO’s confirmation followed an allegation by the APC that thugs suspected to have been hired by the PDP attacked and killed one man and injured 18 others without reason.
The APC’s allegation is contained in a statement issued by Mr Yusuf Idris, Publicity Secretary in Gusau on Saturday.
Idris said that: “It is highly disheartening and worrisome the attack with firearms perpetrated by PDP thugs.
“The thugs came as the PDP Zamfara Governorship candidate’s boys and shot at innocent youths who were carrying out their monthly sanitation work in GRA area of Gusau, the Zamfara state capital.”
He said that victims were attacked because they were APC supporters.
“We are calling for calm by the good citizens of the state who were angered by the thugs.
“We wish to call on both the state government and security agents to urgently fish out the culprits and bring them to book to prevent reprisals,” he added.
