Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani has lamented the attack by bandits on Southern Kaduna communities.
It was reported how the attack led to the loss of many lives and the kidnapping of many residents.
Sani described the attackers as beasts in human skin after a former councillor of Dawaki Ward, Aminu Khalid, revealed to journalists that 17 people were killed and 58 others were feared kidnapped when terrorists invaded three communities at Dawaki Ward in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The former councillor further disclosed that the attack happened in three villages, including Ungwan Sako, Kunkurai and Dokan Kaji.
He said there was a gun duel between the attackers and the villagers which led to the rescue of 20 villagers while nine others lost their lives in the process.
The Governor condemned the killings, adding that the perpetrators have no place in a civilised society.
He said his government would go to any length to hunt the attackers down and bring them to justice.
“The sole aim of these beasts in human skin is to reverse the gains the good people of Kaduna State have made in rebuilding trust,” he wrote on Facebook
