Terrorists launched a new attack on the Dogon-noma community in Kajuru Local Government Area, Kaduna State, early Saturday morning.
The attack occurred just three days after one person was killed and eight women were kidnapped in the Banono Angwaku hamlet of the same local government.
Cafra Caino, the former chairman of the local government, confirmed the latest attack to our correspondent on Saturday.
According to him, the attackers stormed the village at 5.45 a.m. on Saturday and opened fire indiscriminately.
Caino said, “We are yet to get the number of casualties because the locals ran for their lives at the time the assailants invaded the community.
“The community had, some time in 2019, came under heavy attack where 74 people were killed and the community recently has been experiencing attacks.”
PUNCH Online reports that Kajuru and Chikun Local Government Areas had in recent weeks become the hotbed of attacks and kidnapping.
When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, asked our reporter to send a text message that he was driving, but as of the time of filing this report, he had not responded.
