Unknown Gunmen Kill Two Persons In Kaduna

Two Killed In Asso Bridge Attack

Unknown gunmen in the early hours of Thursday in Asso community of Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State has allegedly killed two young men.

Nicholas Shehu Garba, member representing Jema/Sanga federal constituency, confirmed the incident to DAILY POST saying, “The victims were returning to their village after taking a sick relation to the hospital in Kafanchan.”

According to him, “This will be the third time that an attack will be carried out from the uncompleted Asso bridge.

“This unfortunate incident is coming less than a week after the killings in Bakin Kogi in Kaninkon Chiefdom where 6 persons were brutally murdered by unknown gunmen.

“That these attacks are being perpetrated in the absence of any provocation and despite the presence of security personnel within the vicinity, is an affirmation that a silent war has been declared on our communities by agents of darkness.

“I am calling on the Kaduna State government to show more than passive interest in these attacks.

“I am also appealing to the Military Task Force based in Kafanchan to work harder to fish out these agents of darkness.

“Until the state is able to fish out, expose and punish the perpetrators of these heinous crimes, for so long will these criminals continue on their path of perfidy.

“To our communities, one cannot over emphasise the necessity for eternal vigilance.

“My condolences to the bereaved families and my dear community, Asso that has become the latest victim of yet another attack.”
