No fewer than 61 people were reportedly abducted by suspected terrorists who attacked the Buda community in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The state and police authorities are yet to confirm the attack, but a resident of the area confirmed that the bandits invaded the village on Monday night at about 11:45 pm, where they kidnapped 61 people.
According to a resident, Dauda Kajuru, the kidnappers stormed the community in large numbers and started shooting indiscriminately.
“What happened yesterday was terrifying. The bandits came intending to abduct scores of people that’ll outnumber that of school pupils in Kuriga Village of Chikun Local Government Area, but the swift response of soldiers who were not more than 2km away from Kajuru curtailed the number.
“My siblings were part of those abducted yesterday and based on the information available as of this morning, the bandits with their victims are yet to get to their destination,” Manyu said.
He lamented that since the removal of an Army Commander popular known as (Tega), banditry activities have resumed in full force around the Kajuru Local Government Villages.
Another resident, Lawal Abdullahi, who escaped the incident but his wife was among the victims, also confirmed 61 people were abducted.
He said men, women, and children, including a nursing mother of two weeks, were among the victims.
“The situation devasts me because we have not heard from them since the incident happened on Monday.
“We’re appealing to the government to take action and ensure our loved ones return immediately,” he said.
