A Group Of Unknown Gunmen Launched An Armed Attack On Residents Of A Village In Kaduna

A group of unknown gunmen launched an armed attack on residents of a village close to Zonkwa in Zangon Kataf local government area of Kaduna State in the late night of December 21, 2013, Saturday.


According to a source of Saharareporters, the gunmen attacked the village with guns and other dangerous weapons, and then quickly escaped once security agents arrived in response to a distress call.


Details of casualties were still scanty. Reportedly at least one person had died while several persons had been rushed to hospital with different degrees of injuries. Therefore the number of casualties may increase drastically.

The attack came with a few days to Christmas. It was unsuccessful to reach the Commissioner of Police, Olufemi Adenaike, for comments on this matter as he neither picked nor returned calls made to him.

It would be recalled that More than 100 villagers have been killed this year in Attakar land near the boundaries between Kaduna and Plateau States.
