Gunmen kill village head, wife despite curfew in Kaduna town

Unknown gunmen who have been terrorising residents of Kafanchan in Kaduna State in the last few months yesterday made nonsense of the curfew imposed by government in the area, killing a village head and his wife in the early hours of the day.
Killed were Bulus Adamu, village head of Apiakashi in Takum District of Fanstuam chiefdom of Jema’a Local Government Area, and his wife, Ladi. Two other persons were injured in the attack.
Throwing light on the latest attack,a resident said: “When we heard gunshots, we thought it was soldiers shooting to scare away people who might have been wandering about. But,later, we started hearing people shouting and calling for help.
“That was when I knew that we were under attack. I woke up my family, and took them to safety. We then mobilised ourselves to go and rescue those under siege, while others were sent to inform the soldiers.
“By the time we got there, we saw our chief shot and butchered. He was lying in a pool of his blood. His wife was still breathing, but with bullet wounds on her body. She died before she reached the hospital.
“Our boys are chasing them right now, the Fulani. We know some of them. I have not seen any soldier here. It is over two hours since the attack.
Hundreds of women in Kafanchan and surrounding villages , on hearing the news, took to the streets [color=#000099]bare-brea.sted to protest the killing and the incessant attacks on their villages. [/color] They also deplored what they regarded as the failure of the security agents to protect them and at the same time busy arresting their children.
The protesters demanded the immediate release of those in security detention.
An eye witness told The Nation on the phone that the protesting women “are coming from Kafanchan town, Kanikon village, Ungwan Rimi, Katsit, Takau, Ungwan Masrara and other villages around Kafanchan on foot. I don’t know who is coordinating them. But I can see that they are [color=Black]not wearing any clothes over their chest. I have never seen this kind of thing in my life.[/color]“They are singing Christian funeral songs and carrying placards. They are saying that soldiers are killing their youths and raping their daughters. They say that soldiers are aiding and abetting the attacks on their communities by Fulani gunmen. They say they don’t want any soldier in Southern Kaduna again.
The state Commissioner of Police, Ballah Nasarawa, who has temporarily relocated his office to Kafanchan to take charge of security in the area confirmed the two incidents.
The police boss said: “It is true that some women are protesting against what has been happening here since peace left this town. But it is a peaceful protest. It is not true that all of them are leaving their breasts uncovered. Many are wearing their clothes complete. But some have refused to cover their bre.a.st”.http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/news/26031-gunmen-kill-village-head-wife-despite-curfew-in-kaduna-town.html
