A resident told our correspondent that the attackers stormed the communities in their numbers and successfully operated without the intervention of the security personnel.
No statement has been issued by the Kaduna State Government on the development, and efforts to get reaction from the state’s police public relations officer, DSP Mohammed Jalige, proved abortive as he did not respond to call at the time of filing this report.
