Suspected Fulani Gunmen Kill 10 In Kaduna Village

At least 10 people have been killed by gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen on Saturday night in Tattaura village in Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

 Tattaura is a community in Ancha District of Ninzo Chiefdom in the southern part of the state. The village is about two kilometres East of Gwantu, the local government headquarters.

An eyewitness account told our correspondent that the gunmen stormed the village at about 10pm on Saturday night, shooting sporadically at people.

Apart from the 10 people that were killed, five other persons were said to have sustained fatal injuries and were rushed to Akwanga General Hospital in  neighboring Nasarawa State, where they are said to be receiving treatment.

The Acting Chairman of the council, Mr Nasiru Harande, who confirmed the attack, described it as unfortunate and barbaric.

He, however, said normalcy had returned to the community, as security operatives have been drafted to the area.
