Bandits have launched fresh attacks in Kaduna and Federal Capital Territory (FCT), killing a community leader and abducting some family members, Daily Trust reports.

In the first incident, the assailants on Wednesday night shot dead the Mai Anguwa of Gashe community, Mr Philibus Andrew, and abducted 13 family members in Kachia LGA of Kaduna State.

A resident, Musa Bala, told our reporter through telephone yesterday that the incident happened around 11pm, with the bandits wielding sophisticated weapons in their large numbers.

He explained that the bandits first attacked the community leader’s house and shot him dead before proceeding to a neighbour’s house and whisked away one Mr Abraham Dangana, his wife, eight children and three relatives, adding that the bandits also burgled shops and chemists.

He said that the bandits also invaded neighbouring Badeko village on the same day and abducted 10 people.

A community leader, who preferred anonymity, said: “You can imagine that there are security operatives stationed at Bishini Junction, Katari and Nasarawa LEA Primary School, yet the bandits operated for hours without any response from them.”

The spokesman for the Kaduna State Police Command, SP Hassan Mansur, did not speak on the incident.

H

It's well

Nawa oo

Banditry, kidnapping and armed robbery getting out of hand,

Anybody caught in any of those devilish acts should just be killed immediately.

That's the only solution to this rubbish.

This is terrible.. we need a serious rethink of the whole security arrangement

Nigerian armed forces only knows how to kill innocent southerners.

With the prevalence of insecurity in kaduna state, yet the security measure remains the same.

The government is just too myopic. Is there to way they can train them to halt the process of terrorism?

With this glaring news about successful terrorism by the bandits expect to hear similar news before the end of the month

Honestly Nigeria weak me

This is heartbreaking the government need to do something seriously and to say they left matters like this to go after Bobrisky. We need all the manpower combined together to fight insecurities in this country May God comfort the families of the deceased and i pray the people kidnapped will get home safely

9Ja I dey hail o. JAPA remains the way, the key and the life to escape this dungeon called NIGERIA...

Where did the kidnapping happen in the FCT?

what do this bandits really want

So sad

Useless Tinubu dey busy licking microphone

What happened to community policing. Since 2018 till now the senate has not been able to tell us there stand. I really don't understand this country

We?!! You are in the top government?!! Abi dem dey consult you whenever they discuss these matters?!!

More matters arising

Religion contribute to this nonsense, some people will go to church to give testimony that bandits took my neighbors but didn't come to my house, forgetting that it could have been the other way round.
These bandits knows that most people don't have weapon in their homes, this is the reason they hardly attack highbrow areas because they know most people have weapon in such places.
This is not about prayers and testimonies.

ogolemati:

Is that a serious question?!! What do criminals and terrorists want in a poorly secured country?!! Lol!

Is it still the Jonathanian army or should we blame Air Peace Ishiagu uniforms ?

The traditional rulers there are accomplice, they are aware of the Bandits activities there and should be arrested for questioning.

That is the new standard set by the CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF.

SKYHIGHfx:
Honestly Nigeria weak me

It's a weak country.

Bandits are in business.

ogolemati:

They are lonely in the jungle so they want people they can be talking to

Ok

I love bandits ❤️💜❤️ they're doing good business according to one minister

What Nigeria has lacked over the years is a resolute and firm leader. Nigeria is one huge crystal ball of lawlessness. Whereas the leaders are only interested in politics. The government must be deliberate in battling the high level of crime

so at what stage would you say it has finally gotten out of hand?

Christian victims

Tinubu will likely be the last Yoruba man to rule this country in a long time. Nigeria will no longer trust them.

Give this people education and give them monthly salary while they are studying and provide adequate jobs especially skills. This can only stop and reduce this nonsense. 😎
