Nigerian Baptist church pastor and one other in Lisuru Gida, Ikulu Chiefdom, Zango Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State have been killed by Gunmen believed to be Fulani bandits.

A resident who pleaded anonymity confirmed the incident to The Punch, revealing that the gunmen opened fire at the duo on their way home from their farms around 6 pm. The source described the suspects as Fulani herdsmen, adding that the community has been under threat.

“The Fulani have turned our farms into grazing fields and we have been living under security threats.

Neighbouring communities have always always been suspicious of the local Fulani who we see as our neighbour,” the source said.

He called on the government to redouble its effort in ensuring that the perpetrators of this dastardly act are apprehended.
