Gunmen Invade New Year Party In Southern Kaduna, Kill Four

At least four persons died on Sunday night after sustaining gunshot
wounds in an attack by gunmen at Kutura village in Kajuru Local
Government Area in the southern part of Kaduna State.
Several others, who sustained injuries, were recuperating in various hospitals in the area.

The
gunmen were said to have stormed the village about 8p.m. The gunmen
opened fire on youths, who were celebrating and dancing in anticipation
of the New Year.

Efforts to get further information about the
attack from the Kaduna State Police Command were futile as the state
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Yakubu Sabo, did not pick his
calls.
However, President of the Adara Development Association (ADA),
Mr. Awema Dio Maisamari, confirmed the attack in a telephone interview
with journalists in Kaduna.
He described the attack as unfortunate,
adding that their communities no longer feel save despite government’s
promise to protect them.
