He said already, he reported the incident to the police DPO in charge of Millennium City and Environs and the victims were taking to Gabasawa Clinic Unguwar Rimi for medical attention.

Uwaisu Yunusa popularly known as Sarkin Samari, lamented that the community of Sabon Gyero used to have a cordial relationship with KASUPDA and other agencies, but he doesn’t know why KADVIS would aim at innocent persons including girls and boys under the age of twelve to sixteen with gun bullets.

When contacted, the team leader of KASUPDA in charge of the operation at Sabon Gyero , Yunusa Ibrahim denied shooting anyone one by KADVIS, saying that KADVIS only fired up their shots to scare people that wanted to attack them during the demolition.
