At least four people have been killed and
several houses torched in an attack on Mile
One and Paskori villages in Tafan District, in
Jemaa Local Government Area of southern
Kaduna State.
Although the state Police command said it
was not aware of the fresh attack, an indigene
of the community, however, told Channels
Television Aproko that the gunmen invaded
the village on Friday night.
The source said they were shooting
sporadically and burning down houses.
He explained that the gunmen later blocked
the Jos-Abuja highway, preventing travellers
from making use of the road.
Reports say the latest attack has forced
residents of the neighbouring villages of Gidan
Waya, Ungwuan Ninzo and Ungwuan Kagoro
to flee from their homes for fear of possible
attacks.
The number of displaced persons in the area
is increasing at a time the nation is battling
to cater for over two million persons that have
been displaced by insurgency in the northeast
perpetrated by members of the Boko Haram
terrorist group.
It is the latest in series of attacks on
communities in the area in the last few
months.
This is coming after the Governor had
announced the earmarking of funds for the
rebuilding of the damaged places of worship
and other infrastructure in the area.
