Barely six days after the abduction of 287 pupils at Kuriga in Chikun Local Government Area, bandits have reportedly kidnapped no fewer than 61 persons during an invasion of Buda Hausa, another Kaduna community in Kajuru Local Government Area.

Member representing Kajuru Constituency, Hon. Usman Danlami Stingo, confirmed the incident when he raised the matter on the floor of the Assembly on Tuesday.

The lawmaker said the bandits invaded the community in the early hours of Tuesday, March 12, 2024, unleashing terror on residents.

He said those abducted include 32 females and 29 males.

According to him: “The bandits attacked the community around 12 midnight to 1:00am on Tuesday when residents of the community were sleeping.”

But when contacted, Kaduna Police Command Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, asked The Nation to channel make enquiry through a text message.

He however did not reply the text or pick a follow up call put across to him. – TheNATION
