As Kaduna situation worsen with Bandits operations escalating, two worshippers have been reportedly killed in mosque during Friday prayers at Anguwar Makera under Kwasakwasa Community in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The incident which happened around 2 pm on Friday, according to the locals in the bandits ridden LGA of Kaduna State, came barely few days after Kuriga school pupils abduction of 287, and Gonin Gora invasion, killing and abduction of residents.

A community leader, Hudu Kwasakwasa, who confirmed the incident, said the bandits opened fire on the worshipers.

“The two worshippers killed were among other Muslims attacked at the Juma’at Mosque in Angwar Makera when the bandits opened fire on them and abducted others on Friday. The victims have been buried at Old Kuyello cemetery,” he said.

He said the people were in the second Raka’at of the Salat when they were attacked, which forced the remaining people to run for their lives from the mosque.

He added that a few days ago, the same bandits abducted about 9 people at a community called Angwar Kanawa under Kwasakwasa area.

He appealed for help from authorities concerned, saying the bandits were raiding the communities unchallenged.

The latest attack on the worshipers came less than 24 hours after bandits abducted over 287 students in the neighboring Kuriga schools and Gonin Gora, all Chikun Local Government Area of the state,

The State Government and the Police Command are yet to react to the mosque incident as the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, couldn’t be reached on the phone and is yet to reply to a text message sent to him seeking clarification.
