Southern Kaduna Attacks: Legislator, Labari Tella Condemn Killings
By Our Correspondent
Following fresh attacked on two Communities of Nindem, Godogodo Chiefdom and Ungwan Mailafiya in Kwagiri District of Gwong Chiefdom in Jema’a Local Government Area, where four people were killed and twelve others sustained degree of injuries on Christmas Eve, Member representing Jema’a Local Government at the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Honourable Labari S. Tella, has called on the people to be vigilant and the security agents to sit up.
The legislator in a statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen on Monday, said the fresh unprovoked attack which killed six persons, including a child of about six years, and several others wounded is barbaric and should be condemned by all civilized people.
“Such acts should have been forgotten with the stone age but it is unfortunate that the perpetrators are carrying on with reckless abandon”. He added.
He explained that it is disheartening that the ugly incident is happening barely a day after four people were killed in Nindem Community of Godogodo Chiefdom.
The lawmaker wondered why the security agencies are not empowered enough to protect innocent law abiding citizens.
“Just when we are still looking for best means of protecting ourselves from kidnappers and violent armed gangs, our rural communities have been ravaged by gunmen who take pleasure in sucking out lives,” he lamented.
He said that information at his disposal has it that the victims have been moved to the hospital in Kafanchan.
“The dead bodies have been moved to the Motuary while those who sustained injuries are responding to treatment at Ibrahim Yakowa Memorial hospital in Kafanchan.”
