This is gradually turning to a religious war and Federal Government must do
something quickly to curtail the violence going on in the north.
Muslim youths in Kaduna went on a rampage in a counter-reprisal to attacks
by Christians, killing three persons and burning churches. Two other persons
were killed by soldiers drafted in to quell the riots.
According to a source, some corpses were seen on Nnamdi Azikiwe Express Way;
they were yet to be removed at the time of the report. There are also
unconfirmed reports of corpses in Kawo area.
The incident in Barnawa on Monday evening was said to have set the tone for
the counter reprisal attack by the irate Muslims youths in Tudun Wada, Kawo,
Ungwan Rimi, Rigasa, and Ungwan Mu’azu areas.
A youth in Tudun Wada said they received
messages through text messages and social media saying they (Muslim youths) will
not agree with the way Christians killed their people on Sunday with impunity,
without being restrained by the government and security operatives.
