Gunmen have killed 10 people at Tattaura village in Sanga Local
Government Area of Kaduna State. A witness, Pastor Mike Maikarfi, said
the gunmen carried out the attack in a guerrilla style around 10pm on
Saturday and escaped into the woods.
A security source said that
security personnel were still combing the forest in order to fish out
the attackers as at press time yesterday.
Maikarfi said that the attackers also injured four persons, adding
that the wounded were rushed to an undisclosed hospital located in
Akwanga, Nasarawa State.
He said: “The attack took place in a shop where some men were
relaxing. Tattaura community celebrated Christmas yesterday night
(Saturday) with dances by youths, children and adults.” At press time,
arrangements to hold a mass burial for the victims were on, while
sympathisers and relations were still trooping to the village over the
attack. Kaduna State Government was yet to react to the attack at press
