Terrorists burn every house in Kaduna community, kill 28 people, injure scores

Terrorists attacked the Malagum and Sokwong towns of the Kagoro Chiefdom in Kaura Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Sunday night, resulting in at least 28 confirmed fatalities and an undetermined number of injuries.

At addition to those slain and hurt, the intruders also burned down many homes, according to the council chairman, Hon. Mathias Siman, who confirmed the incident to journalists in his office on Monday.

“As we speak, all the houses in Sokwong Community have been completely razed down by the terrorist. Seven people were killed in the community though I am yet to confirm the number of those killed in Malagum,” he said

Speaker of Kaura LGA, Hon. Atuk Stephen, who also confirmed the incidents, said over 22 people were killed in Malagum alone.

Atuk who described the killings as deadly, called on the government and security agencies to redouble their efforts in order to curtail renewed killings in the area.

“Attacks in our area have been consistent and multi dimensional with efforts of the security operatives and government not seen or felt,” the Speaker said.
