In a fresh attack on Langson, a community in Kaduna State’s Zango’s Kataf Local Government Area, ten people have reportedly been killed.
According to reports, attacks and counterattacks that happened last weekend in Ungwan Wakili and nearby communities in the same local government area resulted to the deaths of 17 people.
Francis Sani, the local government’s chairman, told journalists in Kaduna that the most recent assault had occurred.
Additionally, it was learned that the assailants broke into the neighborhood on Tuesday at around 9 p.m. and fired randomly to frighten locals.
Additionally, it was discovered that the assailants ransacked a nearby store before being driven off by police officers.
The Council chairman however appealed for calm and urged government to deploy more security personnel to the area to stop the persistent attacks.
National President, Atyap Community Development Association (ACDA), Mr. Sam Achie passed a vote of no confidence on a section of the security operatives deployed to the area to protect lives and property.
Achie lamented the silence of the State Government to the attacks in the area, urging the government to match words with action by arresting the perpetrators.
The ACDA National President also commended the Mopol in Langson community who were said to have repelled the attackers.
He called on the people to continue to remain on alert to protect their communities and property against the oppressors who he said are bent on taking their ancestral land.
