In the last six years, not less than 518 people were killed by rampaging terrorists and bandits while over 20 communities were displaced in Kaduna South, Kaduna State, according to the President of Atyap Community Development Association, Samuel Achi.
Achi who disclosed this while addressing a World Press Conference in Samaru Kataf, said attacks in southern Kaduna since 2017 have led to the gruesome murder of several locals, thousands forced to become refugees while 18 villages were completely burnt down by the criminal elements.
Achi said the armed militias with the collaboration of local Fulani herders, aided and sheltered by the Hausa community in Zangon Urban, persistently attacked, killed and burned down homes in Atyap Chiefdom with the aim of taking over their land.
