Armed bandits on Sunday night kidnapped 87 people after launching a fresh attack on the Kajuru-Station community in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.<\/p>\n
A member of the Kajuru-Station Youths, Harisu Dari, confirmed the incident to Punch on Monday.<\/p>\n
He said the terrorists also broke into some shops and stole food items and other valuables, adding that they invaded the village around 10 pm.<\/p>\n
The attack came barely two days after 15 women and a man were abducted in the Dogon-Noma community of the same local government.<\/p>\n
Kajuru and Chikun Local Government Areas had, in the past two weeks, become the hotbed of abductions in the northwest state.<\/p>\n
Harisu explained that no contact has been established yet with the 87 locals abducted on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs of the time I visited the community this morning, security operatives have not been drafted to help restore the confidence of the villagers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe villagers are traumatic with the sad development. The government needs to re-strategise in tackling these terrorists,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
