Suspected Fulani herdsmen have allegedly killed 19 persons
in a fresh attack on Kukum Daji Village of Kaura local government area of
Kaduna State.
About 31 people also sustained various degrees of injuries
in the Sunday night attack.
The President of the Community, Mr. Yashen Sunday Titus who
confirmed the incident to DAILY POST said that the victims were attacked at a
wedding party in one of the houses in the community.
He explained that the attackers stormed the village at
exactly 10:35pm, heavily armed and started shooting sporadically at the
villagers, resulting to the killing and injuring of other victims.
According to him, 32 survivors were rushed to the hospitals
but two of them later died. Yashen added that some of the villagers are
missing, stressing that security have been drafted to the community.
Effort to get the Council Chairman, Dr Bege Humble Katuka to
comment on the issue proved abortive as of the time of filing this report.
