The Adara Development Association, ADA, has condemned the deadly attack on Wakeh community in Agunu Ward, Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, which left several people dead and others injured.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday, September 7, when heavily armed gunmen stormed the community, blocking entrance routes to prevent possible rescue from neighbouring villages.
According to a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Livinus Paul Magaji, the association expressed deep shock and sadness over the killings, describing the incident as barbaric and inhumane.
ADA called on the Kaduna State Government and relevant authorities to take immediate action to protect lives and property and ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice.
The association also expressed readiness to collaborate with government and security agencies to address the security challenges facing Adara communities.
While condoling with the bereaved families and wishing the injured a speedy recovery, ADA urged residents to remain calm, vigilant, and avoid taking the law into their own hands.
