Bandits Strike Kaduna Again, Kill Community Leader, Abduct 13 Family Members
By Emily Ogah
Bandits have launched fresh attacks on Kaduna and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), killing a community leader and abducting thirteen family members.
In the first incident, the bandits on Wednesday night shot dead the Mai Anguwa of Gashe community, Mr Philibus Andrew, and abducted 13 family members in Kachia LGA of Kaduna State.
A resident, Musa Bala, told Daily Trust on telephone on Thursday that the incident happened around 11pm, with the bandits wielding sophisticated weapons in their large numbers.
He explained that the bandits first attacked the community leader’s house and shot him dead before proceeding to a neighbour’s house; whisking away one Mr Abraham Dangana, his wife, eight children and three relatives, adding that the bandits also burgled shops and chemists.
A community leader, who preferred anonymity, said: “You can imagine that there are security operatives stationed at Bishini Junction, Katari and Nasarawa LEA Primary School, yet the bandits operated for hours without any response from them.”
The spokesman for the Kaduna State Police Command, SP Hassan Mansur, did not speak on the incident.
