Following the gunmen invasion of Bauda community, Maro Ward in Kajuru Local Government area of Kaduna State at about 6 a.m on Sunday, August 11, 2024, a grandmother identified as Mrs. Binta Malam Danladi has been reportedly murdered while 13 other locales were unaccounted for by the time dust settled.
An unofficial but credible source in the area hinted that the late grandmother was fatally killed while she was protecting her grandson when the criminal elements invaded the village.
This was happening barely 48 hours after similar attack was carried out in Gefe Community of Kallah Ward in the same local government area where village head and one other person were killed.
According to the source, “Again Bauda community, under Maro Ward, Kajuru LGA in Kaduna State, came under attack in the earliest hours of today, 11/08/2024.
“The attack occurred around 6:00 a.m. as the villagers were preparing to go to their worship centers.
“A woman, Mrs. Binta Malam Danladi, lost her life in this senseless act of violence.
“She was fatally shot while trying to protect her grandson, who was also badly injured in the attack.
“The fear and chaos have driven many to flee to unknown destinations, desperately seeking safety.
“We cry out for help from anyone who can assist in this time of need. Our community is hurting, and we desperately need God’s intervention.
“Oh God, please help us! Protect us and bring peace to our land”, the source prayed.
Meanwhile both the Kaduna State Police Command and the State’s Ministry for Internal Security and Home Affairs have yet to make public statement about the development.
