Suspected bandits have launched another attack on the Atak’Njei community in Zango Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, resulting in the death of eight villagers.
The attack which took place at about 9 pm on Wednesday night, occurred weeks after bandits had attacked the Langson community in the same local government area, where ten people were killed.
Confirming the attack, the Chairman of Zango Kataf LGA, Francis Sani Zimbo expressed disappointment at the recurrence of such attacks, despite the government’s efforts to secure the communities.
He further disclosed that those injured in the attack are currently receiving treatment in hospitals.
In response to the attack, Zimbo assured the people of the area that the government and the LG council will continue to provide adequate security and protection to the people of the area. He also urged residents to always report suspicious activities to the nearest police station.
Meanwhile, the National President of the Atyap Community Development Association (ACDA), Mr Sam Timbuwak Achie, has called on those responsible for securing people’s lives to fish out those behind the series of attacks in the community.
The police and state government are yet to issue an official statement in respect to the incident.
