Armed bandits attacked Makeri, Mai-Ido, and Kushumi communities in Kaduna’s Kagarko LGA, abducting 16 people and setting homes and crops on fire.
A community leader said the attack happened Monday at noon when many villagers were on their farms. The victims, including 11 women and five children, were taken amid gunfire.
Security forces were alerted but arrived after the attackers had fled. Police confirmed the incident but have yet to provide further details.
