Terrorists continue to dominate Kaduna State from all fronts. Last Sunday, March 20, they killed at least 34 people by the account of the Kaduna State government during an attack on the Kaura local government area of the state.

The terrorists, who seem to be on a genocidal mission, appear again in the Giwa local government area of the state where they killed at least 50 persons, according to reporting by Daily Trust, and abducted an unspecified number of people.
