Gunmen, suspected to be bandits, have killed the son of a village pastor and abducted his wife in Kaduna State.
According to reports, the bandits attacked Karimbu-Kahugu community in the lere local government area of Kaduna State yesterday morning. “A Baptist resident pastor’s son was killed. They also took away the wife and three others”, a source said.
Although the spokesman of the Police Command in Kaduna State could not be reached for comments, the chairman of Kahugu National Development Associations, Peter Mukaddas, said they are mourning the deceased.
According to him, the bandits moved straight to the pastor’s house when they raided the community and committed the dastardly act
It was gathered that the terrorists operated for over an hour unchallenged and in the process, they shoot sporadically at the ceiling were the pastor’s son was hiding.
Mukaddas said they have since reported the matter to the Police; but residents in the area have been thrown into confusion as contact was yet to be established with the kidnappers.
“We’re appealing to the government and security agencies to swing into action and ensure our loved ones are rescued,” he said.
