Tragedy Strikes Ewehko: Daylight Bandit Attack Leaves Five Dead and Homes in Flames
In a sad turn of events, the peaceful Ewehko community, located within Maro Ward of Kajuru Local Government Area in Kaduna State, was violently disrupted by bandits.
This attack occurred on the afternoon of June 17, 2024, resulting in the tragic loss of five community members who were gathered for a meeting.
Benjamin Maro, a local, shared the harrowing details of the incident, stating that the bandits struck the village known as Unguwar Paul at 2 pm.
The aftermath was devastating, with four men and one woman found deceased. The community is currently conducting searches in the nearby areas for any additional victims.
Reuben Maro, another local, reported that the attackers didn’t stop at taking lives; they also set motorcycles ablaze and burned down several homes.
The community is in mourning and shock over this unexpected and brutal attack.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
