Four persons were killed while several houses including the
house of the village head were burnt, when unknown gunmen attacked Mile One
Village in Tafan District, Kaduna State on Friday. A resident, who preferred
anonymity, on Saturday in Kafanchan said that the hoodlums launched an attack
against the residents between 2 p.m. and 10p.m on Friday.
The Interim Chairman of Jema’a local Government Area, Dr
Bege Katuka, confirmed the incident via telephone. He said: “I just left the
affected village barely 30 minutes ago, I was there to assess the extent of
damage.’’ However, reports say the residents of the neighbouring villages of
Gidan Waya, Ungwuan Ninzo and Ungwuan Kagoro have fled for fear of possible
attacks. NAN reports that the villages as well as Kaduna State College of
Education have been turned to ghost towns.
NAN also recalls that Pasakori Village which share
boundaries with Mile One Village came under similar attack on Thursday.
