FLASH: Again, Terrorists Abduct 87 In Fresh Kaduna Attack
A group of terrorists abducted 87 people on Sunday night 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 our correspondent on Monday in Kaduna.
Harisu mentioned that the terrorists also forcibly entered several shops, taking food items and other valuable goods.
He mentioned that their invasion of the village occurred at approximately 10 pm.
The attack occurred just two days following the abduction of 15 women and one man in the Dogon-Noma community within the same local government area.
Over the past two weeks, Kajuru and Chikun Local Government Areas have emerged as epicenters of kidnapping, leading to heightened tension across the state.
Harisu clarified that there has been no communication established with the 87 local residents who were 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 traumatised by the sad development. The government needs to re-strategise in tackling these terrorists,” he said.
Recall that the terrorists had in two weeks kidnapped over 172 villagers.
When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, did not respond to calls or a text message sent to him by our correspondent as of the time of filing this report.
