No fewer than 30 people, including eight children, have been killed after suspected terrorists attacked Naridon Village in Kamaru Ward of Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, in the latest wave of violence to hit communities in Southern Kaduna.
The attackers reportedly stormed the community around 11 p.m. on Sunday, shooting indiscriminately, setting houses ablaze and leaving scores of residents dead, while others sustained injuries.
The Secretary to the Village Head of Naridon, Mr Dogon Rana, confirmed the attack to PUNCH Online in a telephone interview on Monday.
Describing the assault as unprecedented in the community, Rana said the attackers struck while some residents were still carrying out their evening activities and others had retired for the night.
