Mass Abduction As Bandits Raid Kaduna Community On Christmas Day
One person was killed and 45 people abducted as bandits raided the Angwan Aku community in Kajuru LGA of Kaduna state.
The attack was said to have occurred on Sunday morning when residents of the community were preparing to go to church to celebrate Christmas.
The gunmen were said to have stormed the village on motorcycles.
“They came around 10am on Sunday when people were preparing to go to church,” a resident of the community said.
“There were many and they parked their motorcycles on a bush path before they entered the village, shooting sporadically.
“They went from house to house, kidnapping people. They killed one person and went with 53 people, but seven people escaped and came back.
“So, 45 people are with them.”
The community is said to be far from Mararaban Kajuru, an area where an army base is located.
