Mob kills four suspected informants in Kaduna, police arrest five

An angry mob has killed four Adara youths in Kajuru local government of Kaduna State on the suspicion that they gave information to Fulani.

The National President of Adara Development Association, Dio Maisamari confirmed the development in a statement in Kaduna on Tuesday.

The statement disclosed that the four Adara youth were allegedly lynched by their kinsmen in Doka and Kallah villages of Kajuru Local Government Area of the state.

They were identified as Ayuba Zagi, Danladi Shekarau, David Kampani and Jumare Anthony.

According to him, three were allegedly lynched in Doka village but Jumare Anthony met his death at Kallah.

Maisamari said: “We have been informed of the incident and our association condemns jungle justice in all ramifications.

“We have been told what happened but our position is that we condemn anybody involved in criminal activities whether he is Adara or Fulani.

“We were told that some of the suspects have been taken to the police station so our view is that let justice takes its course so that there would be no jungle justice again.”

The Kaduna State Police Command said it had arrested five people in connection with the mob action.

Police Public Relations Officer, Mohammed Jalige said the police were on top of the situation as those arrested had assisted with information.
