There are reports that about 61 people have been kidnapped by suspected bandits who attacked the Buda community in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Though the state and police authorities are yet to confirm the attack, but a resident of the area said that the bandits invaded the village on Monday night at about 11:45 pm, where they kidnapped 61 people.
According to a resident, Dauda Kajuru, the kidnappers stormed the community in large numbers and started shooting indiscriminately.
The source said the bandits came, fully armed and were fully prepared to abduct as many people as they could capture but for the timely intervention of men of the Nigerian Army who were few kilometers away from the scene.
The source said his siblings were part of those abducted yesterday and based on the information available as of this morning, the bandits with their victims are yet to get to their destination.
He lamented that since the removal of an Army Commander popular known as (Tega), banditry activities have resumed in full force around the Kajuru Local Government Villages.
Another resident, who escaped the incident but his wife was among the victims, also confirmed 61 people were abducted.
He said men, women, and children, including a nursing mother of two weeks, were among the victims
