Gunmen have reportedly killed 11 people in Kaduna despite
the curfew imposed on the state to curb the spread of COVID-19.
In a statement, Luka Binniyat, spokesman of the Southern
Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU), said the killings took place in Guruku ward,
Kuduru village in Chikun local government area and Jagindi in Jema’a local
government area.
According to him, Danlami Barde, district head of Jagidi,
was among those killed when the gunmen attacked on Monday. Barde was said to
have been killed alongside Musa, his brother.
He said six others were killed in Guruku on Tuesday when the
gunmen struck.
On Thursday, Binniyat said three people were killed in
Kuduru and their attackers set houses on fire and looted valuables.
While some sustained injuries, Hassana Bala, Jamilu Hassan
and Halima Bala were listed as those killed.
The group called on the federal and Kaduna governments to
look into the killings and also help the affected communities with relief
materials.
When contacted, Muhammad Jalige, Kaduna police command
spokesman, said he was not aware of the killings, but promised to make
findings.
