The Kaduna State Government has condemned the attacks on the Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of the state which led to the loss of several lives.
The deputy governor of Kaduna State, Dr Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, condemned the killings when she led some state government officials to the Agwatyp, Dominic Gambo Yahaya, in his palace on Wednesday.
Speaking at the palace of the Agwatyp, Balarabe, who conveyed the condolences of the Kaduna State Government to the people of the area, said the state government had since last week been working with the military and other security agencies on the killings.
