No fewer than three persons were feared dead during an attack
by unidentified gunmen on Sunday night between Asso and Tanda bridge in Gwong
Chiefdom of Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna state.
Mr Peter Averik, Chairman of the Local Government, who
confirmed the development to the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday, said the
attack took place around 7:30pm when unidentified gunmen opened fire on
innocent persons who were walking along the Asso and Tanda bridge.
“I was told the gunmen, who seemed to be advancing, opened
fire on the pedestrians over the fear that they may be exposed.
“One person died on the spot while two others who sustained
injury were rushed to Fadan Kagoma Hospital where one of them died this morning
following the magnitude of injury sustained,” he said.
Averik further confirmed that the third victim’s corpse was
found earlier on Monday in a bush path at Wazo village before Aso.
He said arrangement had been concluded to convey the injured
persons to Barau Diko Specialist Hospital in Kaduna, following a referral from
Sir Patrick Memorial Hospital, Kafanchan.
The chairman said security personnel had since been drafted
to the affected community adding that the government would continue to ensure
the safety of lives and property.
NAN recalls that 15 persons were recently killed while 17
others were injured when unidentified gunmen opened fire on innocent persons at
