Some security operatives were reported to have been killed by terrorists in two communities in the troubled Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, The PUNCH reports.
Among the security operatives reportedly killed on Sunday were those of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, police, soldiers as well as members of vigilante groups.
It was learnt that trouble started when security operatives killed a boy who normally looked after cattle belonging to the terrorists. Angered by the incident, the terrorists in large numbers stormed a checkpoint known as Aka along Birnin-Gwari to Kakangi/Randagi road of the Western part of Birnin-Gwari LGA and reportedly killed some security operatives.
According to a resident of the area, Abubakar Kakangi, who spoke with journalists on Monday, the terrorists have sealed an agreement with members of the communities where they allowed the locals to farm. Kakangi said, “Three weeks ago, the security killed a boy who was looking after their cattle. The bandits were not happy over the murder of the local boy.
