One Mrs Abigail Joshua from Adan community, is currently missing. 

Furthermore, over 200 houses and 32 shops were burnt in the attack. Three vehicles and 17 motorcycles were vandalized. 

Condemning the attack in the strongest terms, Governor Nasir El-Rufa'i expressed his grief at the feedback, and sent condolences to the families of the locals killed. He prayed for the repose of their souls as he wished the injured a quick recovery. 

The Governor also condoled the Military High Command, and the families of the military personnel who paid the ultimate price in the line of duty during this attack. The Governor offered prayers for the repose of their souls. 

Going further, the Governor appealed to citizens to remain calm and cooperate with security agencies as efforts were sustained to stabilize the area.

The Kaduna State Government enjoins all residents to carefully observe the 24-hour curfew in force in the area. The curfew was declared on the advice of security agencies to prevent the escalation of violence. 

Security reports revealed that criminals took advantage of the chaos to wreak havoc of their own. A bus was attacked by a mob in Agban, and the conductor was killed. Similarly, some places of worship were torched as tension rose in Kafanchan. 

The curfew is therefore essential to urgently stem the tide of violence. 

Government is working ceaselessly with security forces to restore normalcy to the area. Deep consultations with stakeholders are also ongoing. 

Further developments will be communicated to the public as they emerge.

Samuel Aruwan 
Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Kaduna State.
