Three members of the Kaduna Vigilante Group were also killed during the attack.

At least 11 soldiers were killed after some terrorists locally dubbed as bandits raided a Nigerian military base in Polwire village in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

A source who disclosed this to SaharaReporters said the incident occurred on Monday.

He said the bandits came in large numbers on motorcycles and engaged the troops in a battle that lasted for two hours before dislodging them.

Three members of the Kaduna Vigilante Group were also killed during the attack.

A military signal exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters confirmed the incident.

The signal read, “TEXT: OP DOMINION STORM SPECIAL SITREP (.) SITREP AS AT 041200A APR 22 (.) *BHT/ BANDITS ATTK *(.) AT ABOUT 031645A APR 22 (.)

On Monday, SaharaReporters had reported that the terrorists also stormed villages across Kagarko and Kachia Local Government Areas of Kaduna State.

They killed no fewer than 17 residents in the four communities after abducting 22 others around Angwar Ma’aji in Jere, Kagarko LGA.

This happened barely 24 hours after the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, visited the Kaduna-Abuja highway.

Jere, which shares a boundary with Tafa-Sabon-Wuse in Niger State, is located on the ever-busy Abuja-Kaduna highway.

A resident of Angwar Maji, Shehu Bala, who confirmed the latest attacks, had said the incident happened around 11pm on Sunday.

He said the bandits, who came in large numbers, invaded some houses and whisked away 22 residents, including five women.

I pray God Almighty bless the departed souls and comfort their loved ones.

It is sad this is what our leaders brought upon us for their selfish interest.

Everybody is here, Ozindii owendi, Mynd44, Maxymilliano......

No comment......

Shame on all Northerner Leaders Bokoharam, Herdsmen and Bandits, all from one region with formal Heads of State and Vice President
Instead of them to give information on their operation to Military and security agencies, they were protecting them

Kaduna again

The State should be conceded to bandits if it will bring a lasting peace as it's becoming obvious that both the governor and the president are clearly overwhelmed by the level of insecurity in the country

In Baba G.O.'s voice who is trying to isolate Kaduna, why Kaduna?.....

I don't trust that short devil call hell rufire

Simply business like agberos in Lagos

Lalasticlala which way forward......

Houses are not being burnt , innocent villagers are not being killed , is this story true

kettykings:

I don't think is true.
Because if something like this happens anywhere in Southeast.
That entire community will be burnt down to ashes.

Pres. Buhari is the worst president in nigeria history. A former military general that doesn't know his right from his left. I wouldn't be suprise if the military carry out coup de tat against his government because that was what happen in 1985.

Buhari will be remembered as the general that bandits and terrorists conquered

Hmm

We are tired

Nigeria is a sick and dying old man,...nothing will prevent his demise,.....nothing.

It is a ghen ghen

The leaders are not to be blamed

Let blame the enemies of state.

And education is the cause of all this things, several northerners never really went to school, and those that did that are in higher places in politics are from wealthy families.

The less privilege ones ventured into crime as their source of income and the government has come a very long way to stop all this things .

11 soldiers massacred

Yet all the men in that community are still alive and going about their business?

Yet soldiers haven't burnt down half of all buildings in that community

Yet no threat of state of emergency??

Wouldn't all these have happened if it were anywhere close to the East or South in general

So the crime in the South is also lack of education?

Oyigboupdate2 come and explain urself. Is this the ghost of the Bokoharam you said is a thing of the past? Ekuke

Nigeria's north is in civil war.

It's a shame that we have an ex-general as president, but terrorists are bringing the war to Nigeria's military instead of the soldiers taking the war to them.

Can we call it BANDIT TALIBAN STATE ALREADY

War coming....

There are powers ganging against Kaduna State.

Nothing to do with the Military, society has failed.

This is the most alarming, yesterday along same Kaduna-Abuja Road, 22 people were kidnapped. Now soldiers killings, yet our military are allover the places... How come intelligent gathering does not fish them out first....Truth is that this government lacks capacity to confront anything.....

We have ALL lost our souls to partisan politics fuel by party ideology, religion and ethnic colouration....Forgetting Nigeria can happen to anyone of us......

Kaduna that have different military installations,is now a playground for bandits and terrorists,hmmmm.
With all those military presence in the state,it shouldn't have any business with insecurity,but Nigeria is Nigeria,anything goes in this country.

Asin this apcheat govt turned the military force into a big joke.
