Terrorists have reportedly raided the late Emir of Jere, Dr. Saad Usmans private residence in the Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State and abducted some persons.
The attack reportedly took place on Sunday, at 11:00 pm as residents were set to go to bed. A resident in the area, Musa Arungo, said a man, Hussaini, was abducted while his wife and four-month-old baby escaped while the attackers were in a neighbouring house.
According to him, the bandits entered a nearby community, Unguwar Salanke and abducted another resident, identified as Baba Naibi. After the abduction of the resident, they also injured two occupants of the house Ahmad and Musa. The two injured persons were taken to the hospital, he said.
Confirming the abduction, the Jere emirate councils secretary, Aliyu Zubair, said six people were abducted in the area based on the information at his disposal.
The Kaduna Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Mohammed Jalige, did not pick up his calls for confirmation as of the time of filing this report.
