No fewer than 87 persons were abducted by terrorists on Sunday night in Kajuru Local Government Area, Kaduna State, following a new attack on the Kajuru-Station village.
The event was confirmed on Monday in Kaduna by Harisu Dari, a member of the Kajuru-Station Youths.
Harisu claimed that the terrorists had broken into a few stores and taken valuables and food.
He claimed that around ten o’clock at night, they broke into the community.
Two days had passed since a man and fifteen women were kidnapped in the Dogon-Noma neighborhood of the same local authority.
Kajuru and Chikun LGs had in the past two weeks become the hotbed of kidnapping, causing tension in the state.
Harisu explained that no contact has been established yet with the 87 locals abducted on Sunday night.
“As of the time I visited the community this morning, security operatives have not been drafted to help restore the confidence of the villagers.
“The villagers are traumatic with the sad development. The government needs to re-strategise in tackling these terrorists,” he said.
According to report, the terrorists had in two weeks kidnapped over 172 villagers.
