The Akansan Garmadi, Rumaya Community in the Kwassam ward of Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State has been thrown into pandemonium as bandits killed a 27-year-old man, Piti Ezekiel, and kidnapped five other persons.

Danbaba Katuka, the National Secretary of the Kauru LGA CDAs confirmed the incident on Friday.

The abducted victims are; Afiniki Baban Gida, age 46 years, Afiniki Timothy, age 41years, Talatu Timothy, age 40 years, Manayi Abu, age 36 years and Richard Dalhatu, age 42 years while one Mr. Timothy Daure, 48 years, traditional title holder in Kumana Chiefdom survived with a gunshots injury.

It was learnt that the bandits invaded the village around 10:30 pm, shooting sporadically.

Kauru LGA according to reports, had in recent times come under attacks by bandits, and the level of insecurity has led to crippling
of economic activities and coupled with displacement of peoples.

Danbaba said, “This is the first time our community has been attacked, causing nightmare to our people, the government must act fast before these terrorists sacked the whole of Kauru communities.

“It has been one form of attack, from different communities, and nothing much is been done from the side of the Government to curtail the activities of these criminals.

“There’s a need for strong military operations to flush out these bandits in their camps.”
