10 killed, many injured as attackers invade Southern Kaduna community

Ten persons have been reported killed in a fresh attack on Langson, Zangon-Kataf Local Council of Kaduna State.

At the weekend, 17 persons had been confirmed killed in attacks at Ungwan Wakili and neighbouring communities of Zangon-Kataf.

Chairman of the local council, Francis Sani, confirmed the latest attack.

It was gathered that the attackers invaded the community around 9.00p.m. on Tuesday, shooting sporadically to scare residents.

The attackers reportedly looted a shop in the area before the police challenged them.

Appealing for calm, Sani urged government to deploy more security personnel to stop the persistent attacks.

Also speaking on the attack, the National President, Atyap Community Development Association (ACDA), Sam Achie, passed a vote of no confidence in some security operatives deployed to the area to protect life and property.

Achie lamented the silence of government on the attacks, urging the government to match words with action by arresting the perpetrators.

The ACDA president also commended the Mobile Police in Langson community, who were said to have repelled the attackers, even as he called on the people to continue to be at alert to protect their communities against the oppressors, who are bent on taking their ancestral land.
