A source disclosed that on Friday afternoon, several residents of the area fled the community and sought refuge in Juji.
One person has been killed and another injured as suspected bandits on Friday afternoon stormed Ungwan Ayaba, close to Juji in Sabon Tasha Ward of Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna metropolis.
Though details are still sketchy as at the time of filing this report, a source disclosed that on Friday afternoon, several residents of the area fled the community and sought 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.
