In the Kakangi and Unguwan Matinja communities in the Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, some terrorists are said to have killed eight vigilante members and two other people.
Additionally, The village heads of Kakangi and Kisaya villages under Kakangi Ward were also abducted.
The gun-wielding men broke into the villages early on Thursday morning, according to LG resident Idris Khalid, who verified the story to our correspondent.
The eight vigilante members who were killed in Kakangi were Bala Kamba, Abdurrahman Musa (Ubale), Kabiru Dan Dugui, Hambali Abu, Aliyu Abu, Nura Jika (Maleka), Mubarak Musa (Dan Wamba) and Ikra Hantsi.
Khalid added that the two victims in the Ungwan Matinja community under Gayam Ward were identified as Christopher Abubakar and Isah Gambo.
He claimed that as the vigilantes followed the victims who had been kidnapped and taken to a burial site between Kakangi and Sabon Layi, they came under attack.
“The vigilantes engaged the terrorists, killing scores of them but could not rescue the two traditional rulers and others.
“Normally, anytime there is a kidnap incident, the vigilantes always trail the terrorists to rescue the victims.
“It’s unfortunate that in the process, eight gallant officers of the vigilantes who have been sacrificing in ensuring the safety of our people were lost,” the resident said.
When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of the State Police Command, ASP Mansir Hassan, said, “We are investigating the matter to unravel the true story because the area where the incident happened had a network problem.”
