Hoodlums suspected to be bandits have reportedly launched a fresh attack on the Dogon-noma community in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
It was gathered that the attack came barely three days after one person was killed, and eight women were kidnapped in the Banono Angwaku community of the same local government.
A former chairman of the local government, Cafra Caino, confirmed the fresh attack to the Punch Newspaper on Saturday.
According to him, the attackers invaded the village around 5.45am on Saturday in large numbers, shooting indiscriminately.
“We are yet to get the number of casualties because the locals ran for their lives at the time the assailants invaded the community.
“The community had, some time in 2019, came under heavy attack where 74 people were killed and the community recently has been experiencing attacks,” Mr Caino said.
The state police public relations officer, Mansir Hassan, didn’t respond to SMS sent to his known phone number as at the time of filing this report.
