Terrorists invade Kaduna villages, kill six, kidnap 26

No fewer than six persons were killed by terrorists, while 26 others were abducted when bandits attacked Sabon Gida Libere, Ungwan Ganye, Ungwan Nabara, and Kadi communities in Kauru Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State.

The locals said the bandits invaded the villages in separate attacks, killed six persons, and abducted 26.

One of the survivors, Aminu Khalid, said that the terrorists invaded Sabon Gida Libere on Monday, killing one person and abducting 23 people, while three people were killed at Ungwan Nabara.

“The affected communities are yet to establish contact with the bandits, but many villages are deserted because of incessant attacks. The bandits have their camp close to the Libere community called the ‘Agwala forest’ on top of a hill. Most communities are deserted, and those in the surrounding villages cannot access their farmlands.

“Government and the military must clear the bush where these terrorists are taking refuge to restore the confidence of the surrounding communities,” Khalid said.

The Kaduna State Police Command has yet to react to the unfortunate incidents in the affected areas.
