Again, Terrorists Abduct 87 Persons In Fresh Attack In Kaduna

By Akinwale Kasali

Kajuru Community in Kaduna State has been thrown into confusion, fear and panic as Terrorists have, again, abducted 87 Persons.

The Terrorists abducted mostly women and children at the Kajuru Station Community in Kajuru, Kaduna State late Sunday Night.

The abduction of these persons has resulted in the residents of the Community leaving in fear and relocating in droves over fear of further attack by the Terrorists.

It would be recalled that some residents of Kajuru Community are still in kidnappers den as the Community is not new to kidnapping and insecurity issues over the past years.

An Official of the Kaduna-Kajuru Station, Harisu Dari, disclosed that the terrorists attacked at about 10 p.m. on Sunday.

He said they broke into some shops to steal food and other provisions.

According to Dari, “Two days ago, 15 women and a man were abducted in the Dogon-Noma community of Kajuru.

“For now, there is no contact yet with the 87 persons abducted on Sunday night.

“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 traumatised by the sad development. The government needs to re-strategise in tackling these terrorists,” Dari said.

No doubt, Kaduna State has been a theatre of Unrest, as Kidnapping, Insecurity and Riots has been the order of the day over the past years, with no respite in sight.

Less than two weeks ago, over 250 Persons were abducted by terrorists, as bandits invaded LEA Primary School, Kuriga, in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Among the victims were some secondary school students, and staff members.

The abductors are yet to release their abductees as they are demanding a whopping N1 billion for the release of the students.
