Two Kajuru communities in Kaduna state have been attacked again by armed bandits, after 17 women and children were killed over the weekend.

Kajuru communities attacked by bandits include Ikirimi village, as well as Iri, Dogon Noma in Ungwar Gamo, and the attacks left a yet-to-be ascertained number of casualties. The attack came a day after many were killed in Ungwar Barde, making it the second time the community will fall under such attack in recent times.

It started around 7a.m. this morning,” an indigene of Dogon Noma who simply want to be identified as Hon. Stingo told Premium Times. All of a sudden they (villagers) heard gunshots, when they began to come out of their houses, some were being shot dead. They shared themselves into three batches. One batch was standing strategically in the bushes surrounding the village. Two groups went in. The first group was the one firing. When people began to scamper for their lives, the second group enters and began to set the house on fire. Then those who ran into the bushes, those that were standing there were waiting for them.

“In the whole community, there’s no house that was not set ablaze. As we are talking, nobody can tell the number of casualties. Apart from the man (dead bodies) that have been heaped, there are many in the bushes around.”

A prominent member of the community who pleaded anonymity for security reasons, also confirmed the killings.
