Bandits have attacked some communities of Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State killing six people and abducting 26 others.
According to reports, the bandits stormed Sabon Gida Libere, Ungwan Ganye, Ungwan Nabara, and Kadi communities in separate attacks and unleashed terror on the residents.
Aminu Khalid, a resident of the community, the bandits invaded Sabon Gida Libere on Monday, killing one person and abducting 23 people, while three people were killed at Ungwan Nabara.
According to him, families of the victims were yet to establish contact with the terrorists, and the villagers have deserted the areas due to constant attacks.
“The terrorists have their camp close to the Libere community called the’Agwala forest’ on top of a hill. Most communities are deserted, and those in the surrounding villages could not access their farmlands.
“Government and the military must clear the bush where these terrorists are taking their refuge to restore the confidence of the surrounding communities,” he said.
