Terrorists on Sunday night abducted 87 people after launching a fresh attack on the Kajuru-Station community in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
A member of the Kajuru-Station Youths, Harisu Dari, confirmed the incident on Monday.
Harisu, who said the terrorists stormed the village around 10 pm, said they also broke into some shops and stole food items and other valuables.
The attack came barely two days after 15 women and a man were abducted in the Dogon-Noma community of the same local government.
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 traumatized by the sad development. The government needs to re-strategise in tackling these terrorists,” he said.
MaidawaArewa reports that the terrorists had in two weeks kidnapped over 172 villagers in the area.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan is yet to respond as of the time of filing this report.
