Bandits have abducted a mother and her six children in Kurmin-Uwa near Janjala community in Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The latest incident comes barely 24 hours after bandits abducted seven family members and three others in Unguwar Sabon-Titi, Kachia LGA of the state.
A resident of Kagarko town, Ibrahim Shehu, who confirmed the latest abduction to Daily Trust, said the incident happened around 10:23 pm, on Friday.
He said when the bandits arrived the community, they went straight to their target house and whisked away seven people.
He gave the names of the abducted victims, which comprised of mother and six children as Ladi Malachy, Patience Malachy, Promise Malachy, Inama Malachy, Peter Malachy and Aboyi Malachy.
A community leader who preferred anonymity also confirmed the latest abduction.
He said he alerted the security operatives after he received information of the invasion of bandits into the community, which, according to him, is 2-kilometers away from Kagarko town.
โI received a distress call that bandits had invaded Kurmin-Uwa village, I quickly alerted the security operatives, but I donโt know if they later responded,โ he said.
The community leader said contact is yet to be established with the abductors, even as he expressed concern over continuous bandits attacks on several villages under Kagarko LGA.
