Condemnation has continued to trail the killing of at least 30 persons in Naridon (Kizakoro) community, Kamaru Ward, Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the Save Nigeria Group USA (SNG-USA) and U.S.–Nigeria Civil Society Coalition calling for urgent action to halt further bloodshed.
The latest attack, which reportedly occurred late Sunday into the early hours of Monday, claimed the lives of men, women and children, while several homes and businesses were razed by the assailants.
According to initial information, the attackers stormed the community shortly before midnight, catching residents completely off guard as they slept in their homes. Women, children and entire families were killed in their sleep before many of the houses were set ablaze, leaving little opportunity for victims to escape.
