Kaduna killings---Inspite of security presence, again Fulani herdsmen kill 21 in Sourthern Kaduna
Despite heavy security personnel said to have been deployed to southern Kaduna, suspected Fulani herdsmen are said to have again, brutally murdered about 21 people in the area and burnt down several houses.
The attacks leading to the latest death and destruction reportedly took place between Sunday and Monday in four communities.
The communities affected are Ashim, Nissi and Zilan in Atakad District, Kaura Local Government and Bakin Kogi, Goska District of Jama’a Local Government Area.
A report had put the number of Christians killed in recent time in the affected area at over 800. Though another report claimed the figure may have been exaggerated, it however claimed that at least, more 300 have been gruesomely murdered.
Confirming the latest attack, President of Atakad Community Development Association, Mr. Enock Andong, put the number of casualties at about 15 people while 55 houses were burnt.
It was learnt that the casualty figure would have been higher but for the arrival of security operatives in the affected areas.
May God save the Christians !!
