By Gabriel Udeh, Kaduna
Gunmen have reportedly killed 12 locals, and burnt some houses when they attacked a Fulani community at Na’ikko village in Giwa local government area of Kaduna state.
Those who survived the attack have fled their homes to neighboring Barkallahu village in Igabi local government area of the state, where they’re now as IDPs.
The Commissioner for internal Security and Home affairs in Kaduna state Mr. Samuel Aruwan ,had visited the IDP settlement and commiserated with the locals .
He appealed to them “to recourse to the law and to shun any form of reprisals.”
The state government, he said,” will do everything within its powers to arrest the mastermind of the attack,” he said.
A survivor, Malam Nura Haruna told the commissioner that he had lost two sons and two brothers.
According to him, “the bandits came to the village and started shooting us. We are appealing to the security agencies and the state government to find the gunmen and bring them to justice.”
