Armed bandits on Sunday reportedly attacked a church in Manini Tasha village, Kuriga Ward in Chukun local government area of Kaduna State, killing a medical doctor, and abducted unspecified number of worshippers.
It was gathered that the hoodlums who were heavily armed invaded the Haske Baptist Church in Manini village at about 9am on Sunday, 25 April.
According to Yakubu Bala, an eyewitness who narrowly escaped the scene, the bandits came in their number, heavily armed and began to shoot sporadically at the worshipers, who scampered for safety in different directions.
“Dr. Zakariah Dogo Yaro, a medical Doctor with the Kaduna State Ministry of Health was shot dead and unspecified number of people kidnapped while so many worshipers sustained varying degrees of injuries,” Bala was quoted by Leadership Newspapers as saying.
“As am talking to you now, we have not seen some of our villagers who ran into the bushes while the shootings were going on.
“We don’t know what’s happening that we are facing this kind of scenario in our peaceful communities. Most villagers are threatening to leave their homes because of the constant attacks on so many villages in Chukun local government,” Yakubu lamented.
