BREAKING: Six killed as unknown gunmen attack pedestrians in Kaduna

Some unknown gunmen have reportedly attacked pedestrians in front of Government Secondary School located in Kagoro, Kaura Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the gunmen came on motorcycles and wreaked havoc on those they could sight on Thursday.

Six persons have been confirmed dead as a result of the attack.

Security agencies are now evacuating the secondary school students to a secured environment.

Deadly attacks, especially on highways, have become commonplace in Kaduna State, where terror groups kidnap, kill and steal from innocent citizens.

Other states suffering from similar attacks are Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina in the North-west region and Niger in the North-central.

The attacks have continued despite the heavy deployment of security personnel to the region.

With the attacks, Nigeria is now perceived as a country under siege.

Aside from insurgency, virtually all parts of the country currently battle one form of insecurity or the other, with various crimes going on, largely unabated.

While the North-central is also plagued by bandits and criminal herders who operate in parts of Kogi, Benue and Nassarawa, the North-east is still fighting a decade-long battle war with Boko-Haram and other insurgency groups, such as ISWAP.
