Barely a week ago, gunmen had stormed five villages in Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State, massacring 72 persons.
The incident followed the recent attack on some Kajuru communities in the state with the Southern Kaduna Peoples Union claiming about 60 persons remain missing. Condemning the attack, the spokesman for SOKAPU, Luka Biniyat, in a statement said: “Around 5:00 a.m. this morning, armed Fulani militia, sneaked into Agwalla Magayaki and Tudun Agwalla in Idon Ward, Kajuru LGA in Southern Kaduna, burning down homes, looting, and leaving behind nine corpses.
The attack came as President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday presided over the third virtual meeting of the Federal Executive Council and was briefed by several ministries including that of defence. It said there was an absence of political will on the part of the Federal Government and the National Assembly to implement strong constitutional reforms of the police.
