killed by gunmen at the Tattaura village in Sanga
Local Government Area of Kaduna State. Tattaura is a community in Ancha District of Ninzo
Chiefdom in the southern part of the state. The village
is about two kilometres East of Gwantu, the local
government headquarters. During the raid, which started at about 10pm on
Saturday night, according to an eyewitness, five
other persons were said to have sustained fatal
injuries and were rushed to Akwanga General
Hospital in Nasarawa State, where they were said to
be receiving treatment. It was gathered that the community usually
organised dances among children, youths and the
aged during the Yuletide in the area. The Acting Chairman of the council, Alhaji Nasiru
Harande, described the incident as "unfortunate." He said the attacker "came, shot and fled" to an
unknown destination. Harande said normalcy had returned to the
community, but added, "10 people were killed while
the five injured persons are receiving treatment in a
general hospital in Akwanga." Mike Sanga, a community leader from the area, said
the attack took place in a shop, where some men
were relaxing after a hectic dance. He said, "Our community is about three kilometres
to Nandu–Ankpong, where 19 people were killed in
June, this year. We identified the people killed to be
Joel Ambo, a primary school teacher, Yakubu Ambi,
Yamu Idzi, Anche Ishaku and Misalai Ngbo. Others are Ishaya Anche, Monday Samson, Joel
Anzah, Jonathan Anche and one, P-Square, a visitor
