Suspected terrorists on Sunday stormed Libere Gari village in Kajuru local government area of Kaduna State, killed about six persons, injured many others and inflicted trauma on the farming community.
A source told DAILY POST that “over 50 heavily armed terrorists surrounded the village and opened fire indiscriminately, sending panicked residents fleeing for their lives.”
He added, “In addition to the tragic loss of life, the terrorists burnt 25 motorcycles and looted food supplies from village barns, depriving the impoverished residents of vital sustenance and transportation.”
According to him, “Sunday’s bloodshed is merely the latest in a string of attacks that have terrorized Kajuru.
“Just 24 hours earlier, the neighboring community of Sabon Gari Libere suffered a similar assault, with three civilians killed by the marauding bandits.”
He further explained that the area had become a hotbed of insecurity in recent times, with mass abductions of peasant farmers by terror groups believed to be taking shelter in the vast Kajuru forests that extend into neighboring Chikun.
When contacted, the PPRO Kaduna police command, ASP Mansir Hassan did not respond.
