87 People Kidnapped by Terrorists in Nigeria
Terrorists carried out a fresh assault on the Kajuru-Station community in Kaduna State, Nigeria, on Sunday night, resulting in the abduction of 87 individuals.
According to The Punch, Harisu Dari, a member of the Kajuru-Station Youths, confirmed the incident to their correspondent in Kaduna on Monday. Dari reported that the terrorists also ransacked shops, looting food items and other valuables, during the invasion, which occurred around 10 pm.
This attack follows closely after the abduction of 15 women and a man in the Dogon-Noma community just two days prior, within the same local government area. The surge in kidnapping incidents in Kajuru and Chikun Local Government Areas over the past two weeks has heightened tension in the state.
“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 traumatic with the sad development. The government needs to re-strategise in tackling these terrorists,” he said.
PUNCH Online reports that the terrorists had in two weeks kidnapped over 172 villagers.
When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, did not respond to calls or a text message sent to him by our correspondent as of the time of filing this report.
