Gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen on Sunday night killed a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Luka Ubangari, and two others in Unguwan Anjo, near Godogodo in Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Ubangari was said to have been ambushed, shot and killed while on his motorcycle after an evangelical visit to Golkofa.
A report by The Punch said the killing of Ubangari took place two days after suspected herdsmen attacked Ningon village, which is 6km from Gwantu, the headquarters of Sanga Local Government Area, killing two persons and seriously injuring another person.
Nuhu Tukura, the President of the Ningon Community Development Association, confirmed the development to The Punch.
Tukura said Ningon was attacked on Sunday night and two natives, Gambo Sule, 38, and Benjamin Auta, 35, were killed by gunmen.
He added that the police only arrived on Monday morning following a distress call put across to them on Sunday night.
Tukura told The Punch: “At 8:45pm Sunday night, Mr. Gambo Sule, 38, Mr. Benjamin Auta, 35, were killed by unknown herdsmen.
“We are seriously troubled by all these happenings. Now, we don’t even know what we can do to have rest. Our farms, we cannot go, and our houses we cannot live in. What else shall we do?
“We called the police immediately the incident occurred around 8:45pm on Sunday night, but they did not come until around 7:30, this morning, (Monday). “We are pleading with the state government to help us with security and assist us in feeding. Most farmers are afraid to go to the farm and there will be food scarcity problem this year and the next.”
