Kajuru local government has suffered a series of attacks within the last week after the kidnap of 61 persons in the Buda community was followed by the abduction of another 14 at Dogon Noma- Ungwan Gamo community, before the latest one in which 86 others were led away from their community by their captors.
In another raid on February 28, bandits seized 16 residents from the Goni Gora community in the Chikun local government area of Kaduna State. Last week they reportedly demanded N40 trillion ransom to release them. In the latest attack, the bandits stormed the Kajuru Station community in large numbers on Sunday night, March 17, 2024, shooting sporadically before whisking the victims away. The lawmaker representing Kajuru LGA constituency at the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Hon.
