Fresh bloodletting has occurred as gunmen attacked Zankan village, a Fulani settlement in Kaura Local Government of the state with one person killed and five injured.
Spokesman of the State police command, Mr. Aliyu Usman, said in Kaduna that the incident occurred at about 8.30 p.m. on Saturday; stressing that the dead and the injured persons have been taken to the nearest medical centre in Ganawuri town, Plateau State.
“We are trailing the suspects behind the attack, but so far, no arrest has been made.
“We are, however, optimistic that the additional police operatives deployed in the area will fish out the culprits very soon,” he said.
The spokesman reiterated the commitment of the command to secure citizens and property in the state, saying “we will not allow lawlessness to thrive.”
He appealed to the public to always assist security agencies in the state with useful information to enable them to take proactive measures.
