Many people killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Southern Kaduna

There have been serious attack by suspected Fulani herdsmens in godo-godo and gada biyu villlage of Jena'a local government Area of Kaduna State since Early hours of Monday.

Many have been killed and several injured following the attack. 

A source stated that... 

 “Herdsmen invaded Gada Biyu, 2km from Godogodo early Monday morning, started shooting and burning down houses. People fled in different directions. However, the Police were quick to arrive and the invaders fled into the bushes.

"When they left, four corpses were discovered. Today (yesterday), after combing the bushes, five more dead bodies were found, among them were three women.
“When the killers escaped from Gada Biyu, they resurfaced at Akua’a, yesterday, morning and killed two people. But they did not burn any house there. The Police arrived on time again, and they ran away.
“But, yesterday afternoon, they appeared at Anguwan Anjo and started shooting, but by this time people had fled the village, and the police also arrived promptly.
"However, about an hour ago, the police, who have not had any rest, went to get some food in town. Now, I am sure if you listen very well you will hear the sound of heavy gun fire. They are shooting from afar.
“We believe that the motive of the attackers is to displace us and take over our lands. In Anguwan Anjo, our surprise is that the Hausa settlers there did not run away. There is a river there full of fish and we fish with them.
"Also, since we heard that our villages have become part of Sanga Grazing Reserves, we have not known peace."
But, Kaduna State Police Command Spokesman, ASP Aliyu Usman, said he was yet to get details of the attack, but assured that everything had been brought under control with the deployment of a contingent of Operation Yaki on ground at the embattled villages.
“I do not have details, but I will brief you later,” he said

Eye witness say several casualties and dead bodies have been seen in hospitals around Gidan ways and the general hospital in Kafanchan. The Kafanchan mortuary has also been crowded with dead bodies as a result of the  attack. 

More details shortly...
