Terrorists have reportedly kidnapped 87 people after launching a fresh attack on the Kajuru-Station community in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The attack came barely two days after 15 women and a man were abducted in the Dogon-Noma community of the same local government.
The community has been thrown into confusion and fear. Some residents were seen today, Monday, relocating due to fear of further attacks.
Kajuru has suffered several attacks in recent times, and some locals are still in captivity.
Speaking to journalists, an official of the Kaduna Kajuru-Station Youths, Harisu Dari, said the terrorists attacked at about 10 p.m. on Sunday.
He said they broke into some shops to steal food and other provisions.
According to Dari, “Two days ago, 15 women and a man were abducted in the Dogon-Noma community of Kajuru.
“For now, there is no contact yet with the 87 persons abducted on Sunday night.
“As of the time I visited the community this morning, security operatives have not been drafted to help restore the confidence of the villagers.
“The villagers are traumatised by the sad development. The government needs to re-strategise in tackling these terrorists,” Dari said.
Kaduna has become a huge scene of kidnappings of recent.
On Thursday, March 7, the bandits invaded LEA Primary School, Kuriga, in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The terrorists shot one of the pupils and escaped into the bush with over 200 others. Among the victims were some secondary school students, and staff members.
Kidnappers of the Kaduna schoolchildren later contacted a spokesman for the families of the hostages. The Kaduna terrorists demanded N1 billion for the students’ release.
Meanwhile, last Friday, Kaduna Police Command claimed it arrested a 35-year-old man (name withheld), over alleged kidnapping in the state.
The Police also said they recovered arms and ammunition in a raid conducted at the suspects’ residence.
What they recovered, Police said, were a fabricated cartridge revolver rifle, a fabricated pistol, two Dane guns, six live cartridges, one discharge GPRG ammunition, seven discharge cartridges, and a blood-stained cutlass.
