Gunmen again struck at Addu village in Attakar
chiefdom of Kaura local government area of
Kaduna State, killing 10 persons, including two
families in an early morning attack.
The police in Kaduna had however confirmed
the arrest of some of those suspected to have
carried out that attack and are currently
undergoing interrogation.
Spokesman of the Kaduna State Police
Command, DSP Aminu Lawan, who confirmed
the incident, said some suspects have been
arrested and being interrogated by the police.
This is the third time villages in Attakar
Chiefdom have been attacked by unknown
gunmen this year.
Sources in the area told The Nation that a
couple and their two children were killed
during the attack, while another man and his
wife were killed with their children narrowly
escaping death.
The source said the gunmen stormed the
village through forest in the early hours of the
morning while the unsuspecting villagers were
still sleeping, shooting indiscriminately while
others used knives and swords to slaughter
those they were able to capture.
National President of Attakar Students
Association, Raphael Soja, said, “For now we
have retrieved eight dead bodies and still
looking for the remaining two people missing.
Corpses we have here is of a couple and their
two children wiped out. And another couple
was killed but their children were lucky, then
other little children and women. Four persons
have been rushed to Kafanchan General
Hospital for medical attention.”
However, in a letter to Governor Mukthar
Ramala Yero, the Center for Development and
Rights Advocacy (CEDRA), condemned the
killings, accusing both the government and
security agencies of complacency in the
handling of security situation in Southern
Kaduna.
