JUST IN: Terrorists kidnap scores again in fresh Kaduna attack

Around 61 individuals were kidnapped as alleged terrorists assaulted the Buda community situated in Kajuru Local Government Area within Kaduna State.

As of now, the attack has not been confirmed by either state or police authorities. Nonetheless, a local resident asserted that at approximately 11:45 pm on Monday night, bandits trespassed into the village and abducted a total of 61 individuals.

He expressed regret that since the dismissal of an Army Commander who was affectionately called (Tega), there has been a resurgence in banditry operations within the villages of Kajuru Local Government.

“I’ll tell you in confidence that when Commander Tega was around, their activities stopped, and one could go on occasions without any fear of being kidnapped because he knows their terrain and the mode of their operations.

Another resident, Lawal Abdullahi, who escaped the incident but whose wife was among the victims, also confirmed 61 people were abducted.
