Number of deaths rises to 17 in South Kaduna incident


The number of feather I'm the Southern Kaduna attack has risen to 17. The attack took place in Zango Kataf local government area. This was in the Ungwan Wakili community in Kaduna.

Gunmen who have been suspected to be bandits attacked and killed many people in this community in Southern Kaduna.

A source who visited the scene of the incident stated that 14 dead bodies were recovered today and the total is 17 when you count those who died yesterday and the ones in the hospital.

It is being speculated that this could have been as a result of the killing of a herder in the community a few days back.

Reports also mentioned that a policeman seems to be among those who were killed in the attack.

When the trouble began, a curfew was imposed in the communities affected.

We learnt that a security personnel and a Fulani man had an altercation which resulted in the security being hit with a stick and he retaliated by shooting the Fulani in the leg. The security man was at a checkpoint in the community when the Fulani were passing. The Fulani man also shot the security and he had to be rushed to the hospital.

We learnt that the group of Fulani men returned at night and began shooting at the security personnel but it was the military who was now at the checkpoint.
