Terrorists on Sunday night reportedly killed over 38 people in separate attacks in Malagum 1 and Sokwong communities of Kagoro Chiefdom in Kaura Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The death toll in the killings hit 38 on Monday.

The Councilor representing Malagum 1 community, Atuk Stephen, confirmed this to THE PUNCH on Tuesday.

Atuk lamented that all residents flee their communities to seek refuge in neighbouring villages.

He explained that 10 corpses were found discovered in Sokong, 20 motorcycles and 62 houses were completely razed down, while in Malagum 1 community, 28 dead bodies were recovered while 102 houses burnt down.

He described the situation as barbaric while calling on the government to urgently provide relief materials for the victims.

“As I am talking to you now, non of these villagers escaped with a single cup of beans. Their foodstuffs were completed burnt down.
“There is no any official IDP camp now, the victims are taking refuge in some neighbouring communities while some of them are in some primary schools,” Atuk disclosed.

He said the whole Kaura community was confused, saying that the attackers have vowed to return for another round of attack.

Atuk, also the Kaura council legislative speaker, expresses fear that elections might not likely hold in these vulnerable Communities.

“There are ongoing plans to disfranchise our people from participating in the 2023 general elections. The government must show its might in ensuring these terrorist are crushed while sanity should be restored before the elections,” he added.

A resident who spoke under condition of anonymity alleged that there was an attempted kidnapping in one of the community.

According to him, the local Fulanis who brought in militia could not settle them but the only way they could get money and settled them was to resort to kidnaping, get ransome and pay them.

“The attackers rustle some Cows and carted away food stuffs of the Villagers. We’re aggrieved for the loss of our love ones.
“No security stationed at the affected communities as talk to you now. We want the government to deployed security in the vulnerable communities that would help reduce tension,” the source added.

38 Nigerians dead?!

Presidential candidates have to visit that community, have a first-hand experience and tell the community what they will do to tackle the issue when they become president.

The issue has lingered for years and it now looks as if it has no solution.

This madness has to stop!

El-Rufai sent his boys there to kill. No official comments from him or his government because they are Christians.

They have increased the rate of massacre since the people of southern Kaduna declared their support for Obi.

Na wa oo

We must keep prayibg fir Southern Kaduna people, they have suffered

What is worse is that nobody is interested in helping them

If another Fulani (Atiku) or Fulani asslicker (Tinubu) wins the Presidential election next year, Iife would be unbearable for northerners including northern Muslims due to the insecurity caused by these Fulani herdsmen.

That's why we advise people to avoid same-faith ticket.

Nobody can convince me that Shettima experienced the same degree of pain that Osibanjo or Akeredolu experienced during the massacre at Owo, Ondo state.

A Christian is more inclined to sympathise and identify with a victimised Christian community than people who were unable to publicly rebuke Deborah's murderers.

I hope Christians won't fall for that trap.

We have better include Igbos in that prayers, while Christians in the north are used to having to bury their dead for no reason.

Igbos dying and losing properties is a new thing, that deserves loads of prayers and help, wouldn't you think?

Only atiku can save us, APC don't care no matter how many die

Just say Peter Obi. Only him can do that
