Scores of people have been killed and many others injured following
an attack in Dakin-Kogi community of Kaninkon Chiefdom in Jemaa Local
Government Area of Kaduna state by gunmen.
The attack is coming
barely two weeks after some Fulanis and indigenes of the communities in
southern Kaduna signed a peace accord .
The state police command
spokesman, Aliyu Usman, said that the gunmen stormed the village in
large numbers on Sunday night, shooting sporadically and destroying
houses.
He
however said that only two people lost their lives as the armed men
were successfully repelled by mobile policemen of “Operation Harmony”
and soldiers who were quickly drafted to the area and engaged the
bandits in a gun battle.
Furthermore, he added that more security
operatives have been deployed to the affected areas in order to
forestall further attacks
