Kaduna Attacks: Gunmen kill 8 in another community in Zango-Kataf
Marauding gunmen have killed about eight persons in Gora Gan Village in Zango-Kataf local government area and many people from the village have fled to the internally displaced persons,IDP, camp in Zonkwa, reports say.
The attack occurred barely 24 hours after about 20 persons were reportedly killed in Kukum Daji village in neighbouring Kaura local government area of the State. No arrest has been made public in connection to any of the attacks.
Vice Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in the area, Pastor Isaac Ango Makama, who confirmed the development said about 50 criminals invaded the village at about 7 pm Monday and by the time they were done, 8 bodies were found while some are missing.
According to the CAN leader in the local council, 8 corpses have so far been deposited at the General Hospital, Zonkwa.
He lamented the seeming disquiet on the killings in the area by the public officeholders especially, the elected lawmakers from the area.
“I am calling on the people to recall these representatives who are not remorseful over the plight of their own people.
“The State lawmakers have not visited the IDPs camp as am talking to you right now, it shows how insensitive our people are toward the downtrodden”, he said.
The Secretary of Mercy IDP, camp in Zonkwa, Ezekiel James, said the camp is in high need of medicaments and food for the traumatized natives who fled from neighbouring villages, swelling the registered number for the IDPs camp to 559 people.
