A statement issued by a member of the House
of Representatives for Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency in the National
Assembly, Daniel Amos, said the incident took place in the early hours of
Monday when the invaders stormed the community in their large numbers shooting
sporadically.
He lamented, “I am saddened by the news of
the late-night attack on the peaceful Ambe community in Sanga Local Government
Area of Kaduna State. Reports reaching me said the brutal attack by suspected
bandits claimed the lives of six innocent people while eight others sustained
injuries and are currently receiving medical treatment.
“I strongly condemn this heinous act, which
is another attempt to destabilize the peace and security in my constituency and
our dear state. It is unacceptable that our people cannot live in peace without
fear of being attacked by these criminal elements.”
The lawmaker called on all residents of
Sanga local government area to remain calm and peaceful, assuring them that
efforts are being made to find a lasting solution to the insecurity in the
area.
“We must continue to promote peaceful
coexistence among our diverse communities, irrespective of our differences,” he
emphasized.
He also called on the security agencies to
act swiftly to apprehend the perpetrators of the evil act and bring them to
justice, saying that the safety of the people must remain a top priority and
they must not allow criminals to continue to operate with impunity.
He extended his heartfelt condolences to the
families of those who lost their loved ones, the Arak chiefdom, Sanga Local
Government and Kaduna State in general, praying for the speedy recovery of
those who sustained injuries.
The spokesman of the Kaduna State Police
Command, Mansir Hassan could not be reached as of the time of filing the
report.
