Gunmen have reportedly abducted at least 50 people from Damari community in Birnin-Gwari LGA of Kaduna state.

The gunmen were said to have invaded the community on Saturday after troops of the Nigeria military escorted some residents to neighbouring communities.

In recent weeks, Damari community has reportedly been under the siege of Ansaru insurgents, a faction of Boko Haram.

Ishaq Kasai, chairman of Birnin-Gwari emirate progressives union (BEPU), in a statement on Sunday, said the gunmen invaded the community after the Ansaru insurgents withdrew from the area.

“Birnin-Gwari Emirate Progressives Union (BEPU) has been, in the last five days, alerting the relevant authorities and the general public on the cruel, wicked and heartless attacks by terrorist bandits in Damari, following the withdrawal of Ansaru (a splinter group of Boko Haram ) from the area,” Kasai said.

“The sad event in the last seventy-two hours in Damari town of Kazage Ward in the Eastern part of Birnin-Gwari local government area, Kaduna state, has reached a catastrophic situation.

“As at yesterday, bandits encircled Damari and abducted about 50 people, shortly before and after troops from military field-base from Dogon-Dawa went to the town and escorted some remnants of the residents who were willing to move to comfort zones in neighbouring communities, and even to as far away Zaria.

“The most worrisome situation is where a pregnant woman was running away along with her colleagues and was left away by the fleeing groups, [and] she fell down and delivered a baby boy, but unfortunately, both the mother and the baby lost their lives instantly.

“Damari is considered as the largest town in the entire Eastern part of Birnin-Gwari and with this worrisome development, about 20,000 persons, including women and children, are rendered internally displaced.

“Even today, the bandits returned to the town unchallenged, burnt a vehicle, kidnapped scores, intercepted and maltreated people — a serious development that reflects the level of serious insecurity situation facing our community.”

Meanwhile, efforts to get comments from Mohammed Jalige, Kaduna police spokesman, had not yielded success as of the time of this report.

This Kaduna is becoming Afghanistan....

Sai El Rufai

Both buhari, Apc and anything related to Apc

And the people planning to vote Apc in next year election, may what happened in kaduna happen to you

What kind of hopeless government leaves her citizens at the mercy of terrorist? Only Nigerian government under Buhari.

I hope all these surge in insecurity is not a plan to destabilise the country and allow the Northern Fulani military to takeover thereby preventing elections next year. I just hope it's not. Because I don't understand how a government would be so wicked and evil. Nowhere in the world has this been seen in the 21st century

We at Maggotbbqgrillz can confirm that this news is fake, as Special Advisor to the president on propaganda and zombie affairs we wish to assure Nigerians that our darling daddy has made the country safe and kidnapping is now in the past.

A better Nigeria is all we want

Nawao
Separate This country

The effect of Muslim/Muslim government. We go hear am even you wey stand on thief and boko haram mandate you go collect

Are you Nigerians not tired of this kind of news? If you ain’t? I am. We deserve better, we can’t continue watching them kidnap our fathers, mothers and wives while we shout EMI lokan.

Kick APC out, save lives. It is a fight for our lives and survival.

Q

El rufia and buhari are in support.

Business must go on

What is going on in this country.

How APC still have the guds to be campaigning really shock me.

We are our problem,we will still try to vote incompetent people into office again.

APC promised us heaven on earth and ended up doing nothing,and someone is telling us"I will continue where Buhari stopped",no be juju be that.

Is it southern Kaduna? I know why I am asking. If it is not southern Kaduna, then they are really coming for Ela Rufai for not fulfilling 'their' promise to the bandits in 2014/2015 and ignoring them. May God help Nigeria.

Kaduna seems worst than Borno

Normal thing up north

KADUNA IS BURNING

Indirectly APC is Losing Votes lik dis, de still dnt understand,
Let dem keep tormenting Nigeria till 2023 de will understand

Buhari should pls resign

Family members of kidnapped victims are being forced to raise N100 million naira to pay as ransom.

“The money is delivered to these terrorists to buy more weapons and the government is merely watching.

“After every abduction, the President will summon Service Chiefs to a meeting, a statement will be issued and that is the end of it. What we will hear next is another abduction or series of kidnappings.

APC is nothing but doom

This government, what a shame

Kaduna again

The country don dey turn warzone for one part

Naija don cast...

We warned them about APC but we were labelled wailers, 5%,Dot in a circle,,now look the mess we are


Almost everyone is feeling the heat...

Ah well, I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

At the end, APC promised change, and the change did not come.

This is sad and heartbreaking.

It will take only a visionary leader to help Nigeria right now. This country is bleeding from different angles!!!

Kaduna!

This state is a terror zone now especially the Christian dominated areas, speaking from experience. People now abandon their original houses and flee for fear of abduction and the fulani governor is watching.

Islamisation & fulanization of Nigeria will never happen!

and to think we have a sitting president who is a major general...spits
