About 61 locals were reportedly abducted by bandits in Buda community, Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Monday. According to a survivor, men, women, and children, including a nursing mother of two weeks, were among the abductees.
“The situation is devastating because we have not heard from them since the incident happened on Monday. We’re appealing to the government to take action and ensure their return immediately,” he cried.
There was no reaction from the police as at time of this report. However, the local explained that the bandits raided the community in large number and shot sporadically. He appealed to the authorities to deploy more security personnel in the area, saying “my siblings were part of those abducted and based on the information available as of this morning, the bandits with their victims are yet to get to their destination.”
