A fresh attack by suspected Fulani gunmen on Gimi Dogara village in Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State has claimed four lives with 15 houses burnt.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the attack, which was launched around 11pm on Thursday, left the villagers scampering to different directions for safety.
The Chairman of the Local Government, Mr Emmanuel Adamu, who confirmed the incident, expressed sadness over the development and described the attack as “retrogressive”.
Adamu said the frequent attacks were undermining the peace building process initiated by the council.
He reiterated his appeal to the attackers to bury the hatchet and embrace peace as the pathway to progress.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Aminu Lawal, said he had yet to be briefed on the alleged incident.
No fewer than four villages in Sanga Local Government have come under separate gun attacks by suspected Fulani herdsmen in the past two months. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
