At least 937 persons died and another 1,972 were abducted by bandits in 2020 in Kaduna State, a security report by the state Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs has indicated.
The ministry presented the report on Wednesday to Governor Nasir El-Rufai.
The report, which indicated 7,195 cattle were rustled across within the period under review, showed Kaduna Central senatorial zone top the death toll with 617.
Igabi, Kajuru and Birnin Gwari, all in the central zone, have the highest death figures of 152, 144 and 122 respectively.
