Fulani militants gruesomely kill 10, injure others in Kaduna

Suspected Fulani militants in a fresh attack have killed 10 persons and inflicted various degrees of injuries on many in Langson community in Atyap Chiefdom, Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

It was gathered the militants struck around 9pm, shot sporadically, and also looted a shop in the area before they where repelled by mobile policemen.

Meantime, the Atyap Community Development Association, ACDA, has passed a vote of no confidence on a section of the security operatives deployed to the area to protect lives and property following the killing in the area.

The National President of ACDA, Dr Sam Achie who disclosed this at the scene of attack, expressed disappointment on the silence of government to the attacks in the area and its inability to take proactive measures to bring the ugly situation to an end.

He stated, “I urge the government to match words with action by arresting the perpetrators since the government know them and where they are.”

Achie also commended the Mopol in Langson community who were said to have repelled the attackers and appealed to them to keep on with the good work of defending the territorial integrity of the country for peace to reign.

He appealed to the people to continue to remain on alert to protect their communities and properties against the oppressors who are bent on taking over their ancestral land, saying, “We have to protect our ancestral land because we have no any other place to go to.”

While confirming the attack, the Local Government Council Chairman, Mr. Francis Sani Zimbo, appealed to the state and federal governments to deploy more security to Zango Kataf to arrest the recurring attacks on innocent lives and property in the area.
