Again, Bandits Kill Nine, Injure Others In Kaduna Community
Suspected terrorists have reportedly killed at least nine at the Ungwan Dakwa village around the Dogo Dawa ward of troubled Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
There is no official confirmation from either the state government or the state police command.
However, a House of Assembly member-elect, Hon. Yahaya Birnin-Gwari, confirmed the attack on the community where the persons were killed.
Birnin-Gwari said scores of the villagers also sustained varying degrees of injuries following the attack.
According to him, the terrorists in their huge numbers stormed the community on Saturday where they carried out the dastardly act.
Those who sustained injuries, he said, were rushed to neighbouring Funtua in Katsina state where they were currently receiving medical attention.
He added that most villagers had fled their homes following the attack, leaving the community deserted.
When contacted, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Mohammad Jalige could not confirm the incident as he could not take the call placed to his mobile telephone and did not respond to the text message either.
