Many feared killed as bandits attack Kaduna community

Many residents have been reportedly killed when some bandits attacked Unguwar Danko village in Birnin Gwari LGA of Kaduna.

Speaking to TheCable on Friday, Abubakar Abdullahi, a resident of the community, said the bandits invaded the village on Wednesday with over 200 motorcycles.

He said the bandits shot sporadically, adding that many residents sustained injuries during the attack.

“The attack happened at Unguwan Danko in Dogon Dawa ward. They came in the evening and rode on more than 200 motorcycles,” he said.

Efforts to reach Mansur Hassan, police spokesperson in Kaduna, were unsuccessful as he did not respond to calls or messages.

For over a few months, many communities have been attacked by bandits operating in the state.

Recently, about 60 residents of Buda community under Kajuru LGA of Kaduna were reportedly abducted by bandits who attacked the community.

The development comes weeks after over 200 school children, including their teachers, were kidnapped in Kuriga, Chikun LGA of Kaduna state.
