They also burned 4 houses and left 15 people dead, mostly women and children, who were running for safety.
Those who sustained injuries have been taken to the hospital for treatment.
While commending the security agencies for their quick response, La’ah tasked the people of Southern Kaduna to be vigilant and protect their communities, as well as report any suspicious movement of criminals to the authorities concerned.
The lawmaker also challenged the Kaduna State Government to rise to its constitutional responsibility, to protect the lives and property of the people.
He added that the government is not taking proactive measures, to curtail the unabated blood bath, lingering for years in the area.
