Amnesty International has condemned the deadly attack carried out by gunmen on the Irigwe community of Angwan Magaji in Kamaru Ward, Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, which left nine people dead and 11 others injured.
The attack, which occurred late on the night of June 16, also claimed the lives of two young children aged five and four years.
According to Amnesty International, several victims were killed in their homes, while search efforts are still ongoing for residents reported missing after the incident.
Describing the attack as one of the deadliest recent incidents in Southern Kaduna, Amnesty International expressed deep concern over the continued insecurity in the region, where communities have faced recurrent killings, abductions, and violent attacks.
The organization criticized what it described as the authorities’ failure to effectively address the persistent violence and ensure accountability for perpetrators, warning that the ongoing insecurity remains a serious threat to the right to life of residents.
Amnesty International called on Nigerian authorities to urgently investigate the attack, bring those responsible to justice, and strengthen measures to protect vulnerable communities across Southern Kaduna.
