Terrorists have invaded a Kaduna community, killing a doctor and abducting eight other victims.

The Guardian reports that the bandits, who attacked Kwassam community in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, left the residents in intense panic during the invasion.

Although the police in Kaduna were yet to react to the incident, a source said that the bandits attacked the community in the early hours of Monday.

The source added, “The bandits also took away an unspecified amount of people’s property.”

Those abducted are Mr. Dan’iya Barau, Mrs. Bitrust Dan’iya, Mrs. Esther Magada, Mr. Buba Mu’azu Tanko, Mr. Philip, Mr. Joshua Cyrus, Miss Bege Ezekiel, and Mr. Joffrey Ezekiel, but he was able to escape and return home.

“Meanwhile, the community is now calm, while the people have continued to pursue their means of livelihood,” the local who pleaded anonymity said.
