Seven Killed, Many Injured As Bandits Attack Kaduna Communities

 

Notorious bandits have attacked three communities in Zango Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State killing at least seven persons.

 

The coordinated attack happened on Tuesday night in the absence of the military at a checkpoint between two communities in the local council.

 

In a statement on Thursday, spokesman of the Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU), Luka Binniya, said the gunmen burnt houses in Sabon Kaura, Zaman Dabo and Chibob communities.

 

Binniya explained that the terrorists invaded the villages in large numbers and opened fire on residents, destroying property worth millions of naira.

 

“As I am talking to you, not even a motorcycle can cross that bridge now. Something urgent needs to be done in order to fix the bridge because the people in those communities are living at the mercy of those terrorists,” he said.
