Again, terrorists kidnap scores in fresh Kaduna attack

He lamented that since the removal of an Army Commander
popularly known as (Tega), banditry activities have resumed in full force
around the Kajuru Local Government villages.

“I’ll tell you in confidence that when Commander Tega was
around, their activities stopped, and one could go on occasions without any
fear of being kidnapped because he knows their terrain and the mode of their
operations.

“It is unfortunate Commander Tega was removed from Kajuru Local
Government when we’re experiencing the return of peace in our villages,” he
said.

Another resident, Lawal Abdullahi, who escaped the incident
but whose wife was among the victims, also confirmed 61 people were abducted.

He said men, women, and children, including a nursing mother
of two weeks, were among the victims.

“The situation devastates me because we have not heard from
them since the incident happened on Monday.

“We’re appealing to the government to take action and ensure
our loved ones return immediately,” he said.
