The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Kaduna State Chapter, has condemned the killing of over 30 residents of Narido (Kizakoro) community in Kamaru Ward of Kauru Local Government Area, describing the attack as a barbaric assault on innocent civilians and a grave violation of the sanctity of human life.
In a statement signed by its State Chairman, Rev. Caleb Ma’aji, CAN expressed deep grief and outrage over the massacre, saying the perpetrators had demonstrated a complete disregard for humanity by targeting peaceful residents, including men, women, children and the elderly.
The association lamented that the latest attack was part of a disturbing pattern of repeated violence against the community, recalling that seven persons were killed in a similar attack in August 2025, while another nine residents lost their lives and 11 others were injured in June 2026. It noted that the latest killings have again forced the community to prepare for another mass burial.
CAN said the recurring attacks, despite previous security interventions, underscore the urgent need for stronger and more proactive measures to protect vulnerable communities across Kauru Local Government Area and other parts of Kaduna State.
