Two soldiers at Dogon Dawa village in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State have been killed by suspected armed bandits.

A youth leader and two civilians were also killed by the assailants during the siege that lasted several hours Thursday evening.

According to Channels Television, an indigene of Dogon Dawa disclosed that the bandits attacked the soldiers during an ambush, and later shot at them with a rocket-propelled grenade.

Some others said to have been injured during the attack have been moved to a military hospital in the Kaduna state capital.

According to eyewitnesses, the bandits trailed and killed the youth leader and his friend at his farm in Kuduru village.

When the news got to the security operatives deployed to the area, the soldiers who were quickly moved to the village were said to have been ambushed by the suspects.

The assailants, according to sources, also abducted many people including travellers along the Birnin Gwari-Kaduna road and Dogon Dawa between Wednesday and Thursday.

In the last three years, hundreds of people have been kidnapped and several others killed in Birnin Gwari, a community that has suffered banditry, armed robbery, and cattle rustling recently.

The One Division of the Nigerian Army has yet to confirm the incident at the time of this report.

Recall that only yesterday, the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Gabriel Olonisakin inaugurated four locally manufactured Mine Resistant Ambush Protected, MRAP vehicles for the Nigerian Army to aid the war against insurgency in the Northeast and Northwest zones of the country.
