Bandits kidnap 22 in Kaduna

Bandits have abducted 22 residents of Mani in Rido ward in the Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

It was gathered that the victims, including a nursing mother with three children and an infant, were abducted by the bandits during an attack on the community in the early hours of Thursday, September 5, 2024.

A youth leader in the area, Zacharia Musa, disclosed that the bandits stormed the community in large numbers while the residents were still asleep and moved from house to house to kidnap the locals.

It was further learnt that bandits attacked Dan Honu II, New Millennium City, also in Chikun Local Government of Kaduna State where they abducted some residents.

The Kaduna State Police Command has, however, yet to speak on the incident.

The attack came barely two months after two journalists were kidnapped by gunmen in the same community and were released after one week.
