Unidentified Gunmen Kill And Burn An Entire Family

Unidentified gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen attacked and massacred up to seven members of the Yakubu Kayit family in  Azansak [Madauci] village in Kaduna State. The family members of Yakubu Kayit are Christians. This incident occurred at about 11:00pm on yesterday night, November 14, 2012. After killing the entire members of the family,  they set fire to the family house burning the corpses of the murdered victims in the process.

One of the residents of the village said that unless the people of southern Kaduna are given a state – and classified as part of North central region all the incessant killings will not stop. According to an Anglican Reverend resident in the area,the Fulani herdsmen are attacking the Christians in Kaduna with the aim of chasing them away in order to acquire their land and landed properties.  He also stated that the youths have already begun preparing themselves for a revenge attack on the Muslim community. The police confirmed the incident but noted that a 6 year-old daughter in the family may have survived the attack. Photo after the cut...
