Terrorists, in the early hours of yesterday, launched a fresh attack on the Dogon-noma community in the Kajuru local government area of Kaduna State.
A former chairman of the local government area, Cafra Caino, confirmed the fresh attack to newsmen yesterday, said the attack came barely three days after one person was killed, and eight women were kidnapped in the Banono Angwaku community, of the same local government area.
According to him, the attackers invaded the village around 5.45am on Saturday in large numbers, shooting indiscriminately.
However, a resident of the Area, Istifanus Ma’aji, said, for now, only 15 women and a man could be confirmed kidnapped.
“We cannot authoritatively confirm the figures, because most of the Villagers ran for their lives when the attackers struck. We can only confirm the figure by evening when we’re able to access the village.
Recall that Kajuru and Chikun local government areas had in recent weeks become the hotbed of attacks and kidnapping”, he stated.
When contacted, the State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, was unable to respond to enquiries about the incident as of the time of filing this report, he had not responded.
