Villagers in Kagoro reports Fresh Shootings in Southern Kaduna


Fighting broke out between soldiers and some suspected Fulani herdsmen yesterday evening, after gunmen resumed attacks in Kagoro in Southern Kaduna. Our source said the gunmen who were resisted by Nigerian troops on Sunday in Zangan, Kaura  local government area, surprisingly resumed attacks this evening in the same area burning many houses and churches including that of the district head of Zangan, who is reportedly missing after the attack. The invaders also shot an unspecified number of villagers.
One resident explained that the village is now empty as the locals have fled to neighbouring villages which are far from the scene.
The military authorities and the Kaduna State government seem unable to halt the frequent attacks in the region that has so far claimed several villagers in the predominately Christian area of the state.
