Over 20 people have been murdered while several others
sustained various degrees of injuries in fresh attacks on three communities in
Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Channels Television
reports.
The attack occurred earlier on Thursday, and was said to
have been carried out by suspected militia.
The attacked communities are Kurmin Masara, Apyia Shyim, and
Takmawai.
This happened few days after security agencies were deployed
to the vulnerable communities of the state.
The Chairman of Zango Kataf Local Government Area, Elias
Manza told Channels Television that the gunmen, who are suspected to be Fulani
militia, invaded the villages in the early hours of Thursday morning, and shot
indiscriminately at peoples houses.
The television station quoted the LGA Chairman as saying
that seven people were killed in Takmawai while 13 others were killed in Kurmin
Masara in what seems like a coordinated attack.
He said that several houses were burnt down while residents
fled from their homes to neigbouring villages for fear of more attacks.
