Suspected bandits have reportedly killed two people and abducted 21 others during a fresh attack on Akwando village in Kuturmiland, Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The attack occurred in the early hours of Wednesday, November 4, when armed men reportedly invaded the community while residents were asleep in their homes.
A credible source who confirmed the incident to DAILY POST said the attackers stormed the village, killing two residents and taking 21 others to an unknown destination.
The source added that the incident had left residents fearful, with members of the affected community still apprehensive over the whereabouts and safety of those abducted.
According to the source, the kidnappers had yet to establish contact with the victims’ families or make any ransom demand.
“Members of the affected community are still apprehensive over the incidents. As we speak, the bandits have not made any demand,” the source said.
The latest attack has heightened concerns over the security situation in the area, particularly amid recurring incidents of killings and mass abductions in parts of Kaduna State.
As of the time of filing this report, the Kaduna State Police Command and the Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs had yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
