The Kukoki community, Shiroro Local Government Area (LGA) of Niger state has been attacked by some unknown gunmen. Mark Jagaba, the council’s chairman, made the disclosure to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday, November 16. Jagaba told newsmen in Minna that the attack lasted for about four hours.He said that four Fulani’s and two Gbagyi’s were killed while several women and children were injured. He said that members of the community reported that the suspects, numbering about 50 and armed with dangerous weapons, stormed the community at about 7.00 a.m. shooting sporadically.
Mr. Jagaba said the gunmen stole over 700 cattle and undisclosed number of goats and sheep before fleeing the community. He said the attack came barely three weeks after nine people were killed in a similar incident in Kurebe and Kwaki Chukuba wards of Shiroro Local Government Area. He said that normalcy had since returned to the area. The chairman appealed to security agencies in the state to assist a vigilante group in the area to curtail gunmen attacks and indiscriminate killings of innocent lives. Confirming the attack, Bala Elkana, the Police Public Relations Officer, said that two suspects had been arrested while efforts were on to apprehend the others. He said the command was yet to ascertain the actual number of cattle rustled by the attackers.
