Just In: Terrorists k!ll six in birthday celebration attack
Again, terrorists have launched a fresh attack in the Ambe community, killing six persons while nine others sustained gunshots in the Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The youth leader of the community, Micah Aude, confirmed the sad incident on Monday.
According to him, the attackers invaded the community on motorbikes and opened fire on a particular house where a birthday celebration was taking place, but nobody was killed except those sitting around some shops.
Micah disclosed that the locals were able to apprehend one of the attackers who rode one of the motorcycles but could not be identified.
“We Immediately handed over the attacker, who was apprehended, to the authorities for prompt action because we were rushing those injured to the hospital for medical attention at that time.
Security operatives have been drafted to the Community, and normalcy has returned and we’re about to bury the six victims now,” Ambe said.
The Executive Chairman of the Local Government Area, Bissallah Malan, when contacted earlier, said, “I am in transit from Kaduna to the village I cannot be able to give you any credible information now but I will revert with more details.
The chairman did not respond to calls put across to him the second time to confirm the incident.
Meanwhile, the Police State Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, could not be reached on the phone, and he did not respond to a text message sent to him by our correspondent at the time of filing this report.
