Members of the community have suffered
several attacks at the hands of terrorists since November last year and many
have spent their life's savings on paying ransom.
This comes one day after terrorists struck
in another Kaduna community.
On Sunday, May 5, bandits attacked the Ambe
community of Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State and killed six
persons.
The spokesperson of the Kaduna State Police
Command, Mansir Hassan, confirmed the attack to Channels Television on Monday,
May 6.
He disclosed that the command arrested a
suspect in connection with the attack.
Hassan claimed that police officers from
the Sanga Divisional Police Station and Operation Safe Haven troops rushed to
the community and engaged the bandits in a gunfight after receiving a distress
call.
He said one of the bandits was taken into
custody, and others fled into the forest with gunshot wounds.
Meanwhile, in a statement, the
representative for the Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency, Daniel Amos, said
eight persons were injured in the incident and were receiving treatment in a
hospital.
He added that six people died in the attack.
