At least seven people have been reportedly killed and four children missing after armed bandits attacked Jema’a Local Government Area in Southern Kaduna.
The assailants are said to have ambushed residents in Ungwan Bido village shortly before dawn on Sunday, two witnesses told Peoples Gazette. Many residents have fled the village in the wake of the attack.
“They entered the village on motorcycles and killed about seven people,” villager Bulus Gyang told the Gazette. “Children are also still missing and we could not yet say for sure whether they were abducted or not.”
