Terrorists have killed six people in the Takanai community of Atyap Chiefdom in Zango Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the attack, which occurred on Tuesday night, is the latest in a series of deadly assaults on communities in the state.
Just five days ago, this publication learnt that a woman was killed and her two children were kidnapped in an attack in Kaura.
The acting Secretary to the District Head of the Community, Mr. Samson Markus, who confirmed this latest incident, said the terrorists invaded the village around 7 pm and opened fire, killing four people in one compound and two in another.
According to him, two children were also among the victims.
“We were going about our normal businesses when we heard gunshots,” Markus said. “We thought it was the military at first until we saw it was the Fulanis who came in from Zango Urban.”
“Before the military arrived, they’ve succeeded in killing six persons, including 2 children,” he added. “The arrival of the military was what scared them, and they took to their hills and left the community.”
Markus appealed to the government and the military to do more to protect the people of the community from the terrorists.
