Serious conflict has ensued in New Madina, Juwape Phase 2, Maraban Gurku, Nasarawa State, when Abdul Zuru, a resident, was attacked by a ferocious dog.

The incident occurred as Zuru made his way home from evening prayers at a nearby mosque.

Confirming the ordeal, community chairman, Engineer Lawan Abbas, narrated the trend of attacks by the dogs owned by one Mr. Abdurrazaq Rosko.

“This marks the third occasion these animals have unleashed violence on members of our community,” Abbas lamented.
