Gunmen suspected to be terrorists have kidnapped 15 women and one man as they invaded the Dogon-noma community in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Saturday.
A resident of the area, Mr Istifanus Ma’aji, confirmed the figure while speaking with newsmen on Saturday, adding that many residents of the village ran to neighbouring communities for safety when the hoodlums attacked and shot indiscriminately.
He said, “We can only confirm the figure by evening when we’re able to access the village. The attackers invaded the village at 5.30 am on Saturday in large numbers, shooting indiscriminately.”
A former Local Goverment council Chairman, Hon Cafra Casino had earlier confirmed the fresh attack to journalists.
“We are yet to get the number of casualties because the locals ran for their lives at the time the assailants invaded the community.The community had, sometime in 2019, came under heavy attack where 74 people were killed and the community recently has been experiencing attacks,” he said.
Contacted, the Sate Police Command Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, could not be reached to react to the incident.
This incident occurred barely three days after one person was killed, and eight women were kidnapped in the Banono Angwaku community of the same local government council.
