Southern Kaduna attackers crossed bridge manned by soldiers, SOKAPU alleges - Punch Newspapers

THE Southern Kaduna Peoples Union has said that over 20 of its kinsmen, including a pregnant woman, were killed in one single night in four villages of Chawai Chiefdom in the Kauru Local Government of Kaduna State.The umbrella body of the Southern Kaduna peoples also alleged that the attackers crossed a bridge well-manned by soldiers at Bakin Kogi market town and invaded neighbouring Apiababun village in Atyap Chiefdom Zangon Kataf LGA.

The statement read in part, “Less than 24 hours after assailants invaded four Chawai villages in Chawai Chiefdom, Kauru LGA in Southern Kaduna and killed over 20 persons in a single night, the attackers crossed a bridge well manned by soldiers at Bakin Kogi market town and invaded neighbouring Apiababun village in Atyap Chiefdom, Zangon Kataf LGA. They killed a heavily pregnant woman, her two children and two children of her husband’s brother.

“Unguwan Magaji, which had suffered three previous attacks and killings from 2014, recorded eight deaths, while 75 homes were burnt, 37 farms, among others were destroyed.

Forget it this people are government agencies but my heart bleed for those innocent and defenceless citizens been murdered in cold blood but time shall come when government functionaries will pay for all this atrocities committed by them and their agents.

Yet another accusation of possible collaboration between members of Nigerian army and armed attackers across the country. Yet no investigation.
