Bandits Break Into Many Houses In Kaduna, Abduct Residents

About 36 residents of Keke B Community in Millennium City, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, have reportedly been kidnapped.

The incident, our correspondent gathered, took place while many residents were preparing to retire for the day on Monday.

An eyewitness told our correspondent that the bandits, who operated unchallenged, moved from house to house.

According to Muhammad Salihu, a resident, “Many of us were still outside when the bandits attacked because it was quite early, around 8.30pm. They came in a large number, shooting sporadically and brandishing weapons.

Our correspondent, however, gathered that policemen are presently in the community to access the situation.
