Police confirm fresh attacks on Southern Kaduna

The police in Kaduna State have confirmed that there was a new attack on Saturday night in the Zango Kataf Local Government Area.

The attack took place in Ungwan Wakili at 20:40 on Sunday, SP Muhammad Jalije, the command’s public relations officer (PPRO), told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

“I can confirm that there was an attack, and people were killed, but we are yet to ascertain the exact number of those killed.”

Jalije said prior to last night’s attacks, the police had been managing the security situation in the area, following the killing of a herder in the bush four days ago.

“Before the attacks, there was something we have been managing for four days now.

“One boy was killed in the bush while rearing his animals, and we have been on top of the situation before this unfortunate incident,” he added

Sources, however, told NAN that the killing of the herder might not be unconnected with the latest attacks. (NAN)
