Unknown gunmen kill 24

10/15/2012

 

 It was all tears yesterday in a Kaduna State community where unknown gunmen killed 24.

 The motive for the attack on Dongo Dawa village in Gwari Local Government Area remained unclear last night.

 Some reports said the gunmen were on a reprisal mission after being dislodged from the village; others said they were armed robbers.

 A resident reported that the gunmen were disguised in police uniforms as they stormed a mosque just before sunrise, shooting worshippers.

 Kaduna Police chief Olufemi Adenaike confirmed the casualty figure.

 Mr Adenaike said four suspected gunmen were arrested by the vigilance group in the area.

 He said: “On 14/10/2012 at about 0530hrs, a suspected gang of armed bandits, numbering about 10, stormed Dogon Dawa village, killing 24 persons. Information had it that a few of the victims were returning from their morning prayers while the rest were attacked in their various homes.”

 He said: “The command swung into action by mobilising a unit of the Police Mobile Force (PMF) personnel and conventional operatives to the scene, where all the exits were properly manned by the police and army as hunt for the perpetrators is in top gear. Meanwhile investigation has commenced and security presence maintained”

 Adenaike added: “Some members of the vigilance group from Dogon Dawa village went to Kuyello village, arrested four persons suspected to be members of a notorious gang terrorising their areas and took them to Dogon Dawa village for questioning.”

 An Army officer said: “It is a clear case of armed robbery.”

 Lt. Col. Sani Usman added: “The last time I spoke with my (contact) in the area, he said it was 20 people dead.”

 A traditional ruler in the village told NAN in a telephone interview that a large number of gunmen held the village captive, opened fire on worshippers who were returning from a mosque after the early morning prayers.

 He said the gunmen were believed to have moved from Zamfara State to the area.

 According to the Nation, it was gathered that the gunmen, who operated in the area before being chased out, regrouped and returned to the village on a reprisal, having lost some of their men.

 Sources said that the gunmen might have escaped from a prison in one of the negbouring states. They have been operating along the Kaduna/Birnin Gwari highway before the community set up the vigilance group to fish out the criminals.

 A highly dependable source said “sometimes ago, there were series of armed robbery operation in the area especially along the Kaduna/ Birnin Gwari highway. Some women were even raped in the process.

 “So the community set up a vigilance group to find out who were responsible and put an end to it. They have being doing a good job as they were able to identify some of those responsible for the robberies and other criminal activities in the area.

 “A former hakimi (district head) in Dogo Dawa was in charge of the committee that was responsible for sanitising the area and that was why, in the last three months, there was no robbery in the area. People were able to identify the criminals and they were being eliminated silently one after the other.

 “The criminals must have fled the village. This morning, they went to the house of the man they suspected to be responsible for identifying them. They killed him and two of his children and cut the hand of his wife. They also killed 17 other people in the village.

 “I learnt that those people they killed were just coming from the early morning prayers. I can confirm to you that it was not a robbery operation, but it was the criminals themselves that came for a reprisal attack because the people have been identifying them”.

 Another source said that the criminals sent a message to the community that they were coming back on a revenge mission having lost some of their members.

 The Joint Task Force (JTF), Operation Restore Order (ORO),yesterday on Sunday confirmed an early morning blast on Bama Road in Maiduguri, the beleaguered, Bornor State capital.

 JTF spokesman, Lt.-Col. Sagir Musa, said in Maiduguri that the blast did not record any casualty.

 “It is true that we had a blast along Bama Road in the early hours of Sunday. The truth is that there was no casualty.”

 Lt.-Col. Musa explained that the bomb was planted on the road in anticipation of the JTF patrol vans.

 “They were probably targeting our patrol vans or other civilians. But, fortunately, the bomb went off without hitting any target.”

 He said to residents of the state to be vigilant and report suspicious objects to the JTF promptly.
