Bandits have killed one person and abducted 23 other residents in the Dogon-Daji community on the Abuja-Kaduna Road, near Kagarko town in Kaduna State.
A resident, Shuaibu Danmalam, said the bandits in their large numbers on Wednesday, around 12 pm moved from house to house amid sporadic shooting and abducted 23 residents.
The Madaki of Janjala, Malam Samaila Babangida, confirmed the latest abduction to our reporter through telephone on Thursday.
He said, “The bandits first attacked Kubau village near Jere town and abducted some people before they proceeded to Dogon-Daji and abducted some villagers after killing one person.”
He noted that eight villagers that comprised three children, two women and three men that were abducted on February 7, 2023, at Gidan-Makeri, a neighbouring village, had regained their freedom after some money and two motorcycles were presented to the bandits on Sunday.
There was no response from the spokesperson of the Kaduna State Police Command on the developments at the time of filling his report. (Emergency Digest)
