Soldiers on
guard in troubled Southern Kaduna, on Sunday allegedly opened fire on
Church workers killing six and injuring three others.
The Soldiers allegedly shot watchmen of St. Peters Catholic Church Gidan-Waya area of
Jama’a local government who had mounted a temporary stop and search
check point in front of their Church as service was on in the morning.
According to
Christopher, a resident of Gidan-Waya ” It all started when a Soldier
who has been in the area went to the Church’s watch men popularly known
as Cadet and ordered them to dismantle the temporary check point during
the Church service. The boys refused the Soldier’s order on the excuse
that Church service was on and that they will do so as soon as service
is over.
” But
dissatisfied with the explanation, the Soldier went back and mobilised
his other colleagues who came and started firing at the local guards.
“The gunshot
automatically ended the church service. Women and youths immediately
reacted to the shooting by confronting the soldiers and as a result one
soldier and three other civilians got wounded,” said Christopher.
The situation led to a serious clashed between residents and the army personnel.
