About 50 people have been reported killed by gunmen suspected to be armed bandits in Kerawa, Rago, Marina, Zariyawa, Hashimawa, and Unguwar Barau villages, all of Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna state
at the weekend.
ASP Jalige, who spoke to our correspondent 7:20am on Monday, said the contingent of the Commissioner of Police was on the way to the affected villages to assess the situation. A source from the area said, the killers came to revenge attacks launched against them by the security forces who bombarded the bandits camps in the neighboring Birnin-Gwari local government area few weeks
“The villages have actually been suffering in the hands of the bandits for a long time. They invade the villages and kidnap people unchallenged. That is why they became the first suspects to the bandits.” The villager alleged while the attack was on, a plane presumably on reconnaissance duty was sighted hovering above the sky.
“They continued to shoot people, setting fire on the dead and on property. It was extremely horrific!’ They went from one room to the other, a man and his children were killed, even new born babies.“We are appealing to the Federal Government to please, pay attention to the situation in Igabi Local Government Area, especially Igabi west.“President Buhari should come to our rescue. Please deploy security agents that can do this work, those earlier stationed here never stayed.
