Community in Kaduna decries incessant attacks, kidnappings by bandits

Leaders of Kauru local government Community Development Associations, CDAs, forum, Kaduna State, have expressed concern over the frequent attacks and kidnapping of innocent people by armed bandits in the area.
A statement issued by its Public Relations Officer, Daniel D Achi explained that the activities of armed bandits was becoming unbearable as people were attacked and kidnapped almost on a daily basis, without fear.
According to him, “Many people have deserted their houses with their farm produce yet to be harvested due to insecurity bedevilling the area.”
He noted that the recent attack occurred on Thursday night in Fadan Ruruma in Kwassam Ward where 17 people were kidnapped, calling on the government to as a matter of urgency beef up security to safeguard lives and property of the people.
While praying for the quick release of those abducted, Achi noted with dismay that last week one young man was killed and another injured in Akansa, Rumaya, while many others were kidnapped and still under captivity.
He appealed to the Kaduna State government and other relevant authorities to expedite action in establishing a military strike force in Kauru and Kumana axis to complement the one in Damakasuwa, Chawai chiefdom.
He stressed that the government should devise means of ending cross border attacks in Chawai chiefdom, especially communities neighbouring Basa Local Government Area of Plateau State.
