Bandits terrorising parts of Kaduna State at about 12:15 a.m Friday, August 9, 2024, attacked Gefe Community of Kallah Ward in Kajuru Local Government area of Kaduna State killing the Village Head, Mr. Emmanuel Idah and one other person.
The invaders also went away with some locales yet to be ascertained as of the time the information filter into the air.
Kajuru is one of the few troubled local government areas in the state with high volatility rate to criminal activities, the development that has crippled the economy and social life if the once lively and bubbling people.
A credible source in the area who spoke in confidence hinted The Sun Newspapers that the modus operandi of the attackers showed that they are the same elements that have been terrorising the area unabated for some years now.
The source expressed deep concern on why it has been so difficult for those saddled with the responsibility of protecting lives and property of Nigerians irrespective of where they chose to live within the country to curtail the excesses of the bandits.
“Gefe community of Kallah ward, Kajuru LGA suffered another attack at early hours of today. Some people were abducted and their village head, Mr. Emmanuel Idah alongside one other person who is a native of Igbo, but a trader there were killed.
“They came at about 12:15 a.m today. We don’t know the number of people they went away with yet.
“Please help us inform the federal and the state government that Kajuru is under siege. We are losing everything to these criminal activities including our people, businesses, and social life”, the source appealed.
Meanwhile, both the Kaduna State Police Command and the Kaduna State Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs have yet to make any official statement as of the time of filing this report.
