Bandits abducted 19 people in separate attacks in the Mani hamlet near a factory in the Rido Ward of the Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, as well as at the Danhonu II Millennium City in Kaduna.
On Thursday morning in Mani, the hoodlums snatched a mom and her three children.
According to a local source, six of his family were brought to the forest.
He said “19 persons were abducted from three houses in Mani village opposite Indomie company Rido Ward of Chikun LGA Kaduna state in the early hours of today (Thursday). I know the names of my relatives involved. We are in deep thought as I send this message, especially as we have yet to hear from the abductors. They include a nursing mother with four kids, young persons, and an infant.”
He begged the authorities to come to the victims’ aid.
In a similar event, two months after the kidnapping of Kaduna-based journalists and their families in Dan Honu II, New Millennium City of Chikun local government area of Kaduna, gunmen raided the village on Wednesday night and abducted a woman and her three sons.
According to a source, the bandits invaded Mr Mutiu Adeleke’s house and seized his wife and three sons, leaving him behind.
“The incident occurred around 10 p.m. as the gunmen stormed the community, shooting sporadically unchallenged before making away with the victims. It was also gathered that Mrs Adeleke, who could not keep up with the pace of the bandits’ movement, was abandoned in the bush and had since returned home. But they left with her three sons, “said the source.
