Chief Of Jere Attacked In Southern kaduna by Nobody: 6:25pm On Jan 03, 2014 |
By Sahara reporters The Chief of Jere, a Hausa settlement in Southern Kaduna region of Kaduna state, Dr. Sa’ad Usman and husband of Senator Nenadi Usman is said to have been attacked this afternoon. A credible source in Kagarko local government area confirmed the attack. The source said at first there was belief that the Chief may have been killed, however it was later confirmed that he is alive but had sustained injuries. Although actual information of the attack is still sketchy, a source in the headquarters of the State Security Service (SSS) in Abuja said the attack is connected to certain crises brewing in Jere town and environs over land allegedly being forcefully claimed by the Fulani traditional ruler in a Koro and Gbagyi stronghold. The SSS source said, “There are several security reports at our disposal that serious crisis is brewing in the area, the Gbagyi people wrote us that their ancestral lands are being seized by the Fulani Chief and that nothing is being done to address the crisis. And so it is possible this is part of the problem or it could be a case of gunmen attacking. Our Command in Kaduna has been alerted to make a preliminary investigation.” As at the time of publishing this report, armed soldiers and police have been deployed to the area, while medical personnel are attending to the injured traditional chief. http://mobile.saharareporters.com/news-page/breaking-news-chief-jere-attacked-southern-kaduna |
