Read Time:2 Minute, 1 Second
Bandits that raided the Kajuru station community in Kajuru Local Government Area, Kaduna State, according to reports, again have kidnapped at least 87 individuals.
The community’s stores and homes were allegedly robbed by the criminals.
Sunday night’s incident happened just one day after bandits abducted fourteen individuals from the Dogon Noma hamlet in Kajuru Local Government.
While Kajuru Local Government Area Chairman Ibrahim Gajere told our correspondent that bandits had raided Kajuru station community on Sunday night at around 9:00 p.m. and taken numerous civilians, Kaduna State police authorities had not yet confirmed the most recent attack.
He bemoaned the fact that many locals were living in terror and panic as a result of the ongoing attacks on Kajuru.
The Kaduna Central Senatorial District’s Kajuru and Chikun Local Government Areas have recently seen a surge in attacks, one of which was the kidnapping of 287 kids from the Kuriga community in Chikun.
On Monday, in response to an increase in abduction cases, Governor Uba Sani and Chief of Defence Staff General Christopher Musa met at the state government house.
Speaking during the meeting, which was also attended by Kuriga community representatives, General Musa gave the assurance that the students who had been abducted and those who had lately been taken hostage by bandits at Kajuru would soon be rescued.
He claims that in an effort to liberate the captives, the military and other security services are working nonstop.
He promised that everyone responsible for the kidnappings and attacks in Kaduna and other North West Zone states would be captured very soon.
“We are here to show solidarity to this community so that you would know that whatever you are going through, we are also going through it. We assure you that God Almighty is on our side, and whatever we are going through is just temporal. And the problem is as a result of people who don’t want development for this country so that development would take place. We are working tirelessly to make sure that all those kidnapped will be safeguarded and brought out as quickly as possible,” he said.
While speaking earlier, Governor Sani said the state was getting support from both the army and police.
“We will ensure that we beef up security in Kuriga community. We are getting a lot of support from security agencies, from both police and army,” Governor Sani said during the meeting.
