10,000 Persons Displaced In Kaduna Gunmen Attack

The displaced  people of Fadan Attakar community in Kaura local government area of Kaduna State  have appealed to the Kaduna State government to help them  get over the shock from last Saturday’s attack on the village by unknown gunmen.
The attack has displaced about 10,000 indigenes of the community who are scared of going back to their homes.
The paramount ruler of the community condemned the attack saying members of the community have lived peacefully with their neighbours over the years.
With their houses completely razed down, the villagers have become refugees in their own land.
Expressing sadness over what he called ‘man’s wickedness to his fellow man’, Governor Muktar Ramalan Yero who cut short his trip outside the country to visit the displaced persons and those in the hospital described the attack as uncalled for.
Although government has promised to assist the victims to get back on their feet and do everything possible to avert a re-occurrence of such incident, the people are demanding that an urgent arrangement be made for their immediate return and rehabilitation as condition for normalcy in the affected areas.
