One killed, other injured as bandits invade Kaduna community

Suspected bandits on Friday afternoon invaded Ungwan Ayaba, close to Juji in Sabon Tasha Ward of Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna metropolis, killing one and injuring another.

Though details are still sketchy as at the time of filing this report, a source told Newsmen in Kaduna on Friday afternoon that, several residents of the area have fled the community and are taking refuge in Juji.

“Many refugees are in my house right now after escaping from Ungwan Ayaba. It is pathetic and sad that the bandits are becoming more daring, even staging attack in broad daylight,” the source, based in Juji said

He said the IDPs from Ungwan Ayaba currently in Juji are over 50, following bandits attacks on the community over the past three days.

”Two days ago, one of my cousins there was killed and three of his brothers were abducted.”

When the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Kaduna State Command, ASP Muhammed Jalige was contacted, he said he was yet to be briefed on the development.

He, however, promised to reach the Divisional Police Officer in the area to furnish him with details.

Ungwan Ayaba is located in Kakau Ward, Chikun LGA, few kilometres from Gonin Gora along Kaduna-Abuja Highway.
