Many armed bandits invaded the Akwando community in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State early Wednesday morning, abducting an undisclosed number of residents.
The bandits also burnt a house and two shops during the attack that lasted for hours.
A source told DAILY POST that three people who sustained various degrees of injuries during the attack were receiving treatment.
He explained, “The bandits came in their large numbers, attacked the community some minutes after midnight.
“The attack was carried out from the market downward to other houses in the community.
“Many people were kidnapped by the terrorists; about three others were injured and are receiving treatment in a hospital. They also burnt one house and two shops during their attack.”

All efforts to get in touch with the police command’s spokesperson, Mansir Hasan, proved abortive as calls to his number were not answered.
