A source told Sahara Reporters that the incident happened around the Kwangila area, a congested area outside Zaria city.
He said there have been constant killings in Zaria believed to be carried out by members of Boko Haram, and as well intimidation of community leaders.
A man buying and selling foreign currency was also shot to death on Wednesday night, the source said.
With Zaria apparently becoming a haven for terrorists, police are likely to begin a house to house search for the suspects, the source said
