The kidnappers had on Wednesday night through the early hours of Thursday attacked the community, kidnapping unspecified numbers of residents.

The incident which eyewitnesses said happened from 11pm to 3am Thursday, forced residents to troop out to protest what they described as the audacity of the hoodlums in attacking the area.

GWG.ng reports that the latest attack with the abduction of primary school pupils is bound to bring focus to the rampage of bandits in Kaduna and other parts of the country.
