Suspected terrorists, who stormed Mahuta village in the outskirt of Kaduna, at the weekend, were chased by youths from the area, leading to the arrest of two while a youth lost his life.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Kaduna State, DSP Aminu Lawal, confirmed the arrest of the two gunmen by youths of the community.

An eyewitness said the gunmen had tried to gain access into the village head’s residence with intent to kill or injure him, but he managed to scale the fence and escape.

He said the confusion that ensued attracted youths in the area who pursued the gunmen while hauling stones at them.

He added that in the process, seven of the youths secured gunshot wounds.

Nigerian Tribune further learnt that the injured persons were taken to the hospital  for medical attention where one  person died and had  been buried according to Islamic religious rites.

The police, however, expressed appreciation to the community for their vigilance and quick response which led to the timely intervention of the joint task force made up of the military and the police.

DSP Lawal said the police had commenced investigation into the incident while security in the area had been beefed up.

It is factual that if our youths should be patriotic citizens, there is no doubt that peace shall reign in our Dear Native Land. The action of Mahuta youth is a typical replica of true patriotic and peace loving citizens. I hereby urge the northern community youths to emulate the Mahuta youths.
