Some armed men are currently
burning houses in Angwan Barde village, Kajuru local government area of Kaduna
state.
A community leader, who pleaded
anonymity, revealed that the attackers were on their way to a nearby
community after wreaking havoc on Angwan Barde.
The attack is coming barely 12
days after 40 people were killed and several houses burnt in Karamai village,
still in Kajuru local government area.
“Gunmen are presently killing and
burning of housing in Angwan Barde now. They are done attacking Ungwan Barde,
they are now advancing towards the next village which is Sabon Gida,” he said.
He said the killings started with
some attacks on farmers in the area on Saturday.
“They started isolated attacks
yesterday. Someone voted and went to his farm and he was killed. Five people
went to search for him and they were also attacked one of them was killed and
four came back alive. I am not in a position to give you casualty figures until
the situation is calm, I don’t want to give wrong figures,” he said.
Yakubu Sabo, spokesman of the
Kaduna state police command, did not respond to calls and a text message sent
to his mobile phone on the issue.
The first attack on the Angwan
Barde was on February 11, when suspected herdsmen invaded the village at
midnight and killed 11 people.
The attack led to reprisals and
many people were killed. Nasir el-Rufai, the governor, put the death toll at
130.
