Again, Bandits Abduct 87 Kaduna Residents In Fresh Attack
Armed bandits on Sunday night kidnapped 87 people after launching a fresh attack on the Kajuru-Station community in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
A member of the Kajuru-Station Youths, Harisu Dari, confirmed the incident to Punch on Monday.
He said the terrorists also broke into some shops and stole food items and other valuables, adding that they invaded the village around 10 pm.
The attack came barely two days after 15 women and a man were abducted in the Dogon-Noma community of the same local government.
Kajuru and Chikun Local Government Areas had, in the past two weeks, become the hotbed of abductions in the northwest state.
Harisu explained that no contact has been established yet with the 87 locals abducted on Sunday night.
“As of the time I visited the community this morning, security operatives have not been drafted to help restore the confidence of the villagers.
“The villagers are traumatic with the sad development. The government needs to re-strategise in tackling these terrorists,” he added.
