Gunmen kill courple in KadunaGunmen suspected to be herdsmen have killed a man and his wife at Ungwan Mada village in Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Eyewitnesses say the gunmen stormed the deceased residence in the early hours of Monday, August 14, broke the door and then shot the man and his wife.

The reason for the attack is still not known, but close relatives told Channels Television that the man, who was the youth leader of the community was suspected to have been killed along with his wife by armed herdsmen.

However, the Chairman of Miyett Allah Cattle Breeders Association in Sanga Local Government, Alhassan Abdulkarim, denied Fulani herdsmen involvement in the killing, saying that the attack could be a robbery attack.

The State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, who visited the family of the deceased on Tuesday, described the attack as barbaric and inhumane.

While appealing to the residents of Sanga to remain calm and law abiding, the Governor assured them that a lasting solution to the incessant attacks in the southern part of Kaduna State would be achieved soon.
