Violence has erupted in a Kaduna community when a herder, Yusuf Mahmuda, a resident of the community was attacked and killed after an argument with some farmers over encroachment of the farm by cows.
It was gathered that the killers beheaded the herder and took away his head as the other herders grazing in the area managed to escape with the cows.
The Kaduna State Government has condemned the renewed killings in the boundary areas of Kauru and Zangon Kataf LGAs as reported by security agencies in those locations.
The government appealed to residents who lost their relations and loved ones to allow security forces and government to manage the situation, as investigations are in progress, following incidents that created a tense atmosphere in the local government areas.
Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, in a statement, explained that subsequently, an inter-ethnic communal clash erupted during peak market hours in Bakin Kogi Market of Kauru LGA located near its boundaries with Zangon Kataf LGA.
