A source in the troubled Tafawa Balewa
local government area of Bauchi State
has just told SaharaReporters that
unknown gunmen stormed a village in
the area and killed four persons. An
injured survivor was taken to a hospital.
The incident occurred in Donga town of
the Tafawa Balewa local government.
Many people who were frightened by
the gun shots scampered to safety.
The Commissioner of Police in Bauchi
State, Mohammed Ladan, confirmed
the killings to SaharaReporters.
He said, “We got a distress call that
some armed men stormed the area and
opened fire on innocent people. When
our men got there, four persons were
confirmed dead and one person was
injured, who is now receiving medical
attention.”
He added that security operatives are
still carrying out investigations and
trailing the suspected heavily armed
men.
As at the time of filing this report,
nobody has claimed responsibility for
the attack.
Earlier today, the State Government
dispelled reports of a bomb attack
upon the National Youth Service Corps
(NYSC) Orientation Camp in Wailo,
describing the rumours as the work of
enemies of peace.
