Just last Sunday, March 20, 2022, Kaduna State Government confirmed that terrorists killed at least 34 people during an attack on the Kaura local government area of the state.

“They also abducted an unspecified number of people.
The terrorists, it was reported, moved across nine communities in Giwa and kill unchallenged.
ASP Mohammed Jalinge, Police Public Relations Officer in the state, who confirmed the incident, said the command is yet to compile the actual number of deaths recorded during the invasion.
“We are still waiting for the full details of the incident from the Divisional Police Officer, Giwa and the Area Commander Zaria,” Daily Trust quoted the Kaduna police spokesman.
The newspaper quoted a member of Vigilante Group in Dillalai area, Mansur Ibrahim, who said the terrorists burnt houses and vehicles, motorcycles and rustled away over 100 cows.
“The villages affected were Dillalai, Zango Tama, Kaya, Barebari, Anguwan Bakko, Gidan Alhajin Kida, Kadanya and Durumi among others.
