Nigerian troops on Friday repelled a terrorist attack in Kagoro, Kaura local government area, of Kaduna State.
The attack came a day after a mass burial was held for 38 people killed in last Sunday’s attack in Mallagum-Kagoro, in the same local government.
According to a Daily Trust report, the gunmen launched the attack in Kagoro, on Friday night.
The attack was reportedly launched between 9:00pm and 9:45pm as the assailants stormed the area and started shooting sporadically.
A resident of the area who spoke on the condition of anonymity said the attackers arrived fully armed and started shooting, which forced people to run for their lives, “but thank God there was no lost of life because the military repelled the attackers,” he said.
The Kaduna State Government is yet to issue a statement on the attack, and the spokesperson of the Kaduna Police command, Mohammed Jalinge, couldn’t be reached for comment.
