Youth leader of Atyap Chiefdom, Gabriel Joseph confirmed the attack to DAILY POST on Tuesday morning.

He said after residents of Kurmin Masara deserted their community during the Sunday attack, the gunmen decided to attack Atisa, a nearby settlement of the same Kurmin Masara axis.

He said the gunmen shot freely as there were no security personnel to counter them, just as the vigilantes in the area ran for dear lives.

Joseph, who could not confirm if anyone was killed during the attack, said foodstuff, animals were carted away by the gunmen.

The youth leader called on the government to take serious action to defend and protect citizens and their properties.

Kaduna Police Command Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Jalige, did not pick his calls nor respond to text messages sent to him.
