Tuesday night, terrorists carried out a second attack on the Banono Angwaku community in Kajuru Local Government Area, Kaduna State, resulting in the death of Christopher Zamani, the injuries of a second person, and the kidnapping of eight people.
Kauna Fidelis, Tina Bulus, Alice Joshua, Sarah Micah, Janet Amos, Martha Peter, Rita Joefrey, and Favour Ado were the eight victims named.
According to Dauda Manyu, a resident of the LG in Kaduna, who verified the event with PUNCH Online on Thursday, the terrorists also took cash, two motorcycles, food supplies, and other valuables.
By 10 p.m., he added, they broke inside the community.
The attack happened just 48 hours after 61 villagers in the same Kajuru Local Government Area's Buda the community were kidnapped.
Tension has arisen in the state as a result of kidnappings that have increased in the last two weeks in Kajuru and Chikun LGs.
No communication has been made with the 61 locals who were kidnapped on Sunday night in the Buda village, according to Dauda.
"The government must work with the military to search our forest with the help of the local hunters in order to put an end to this kidnapping spree," he declared. Cattle routes require round-the-clock watching because that is their route.
"The nation's economy is struggling, and the people are going through difficult times in addition. Our farmers face enormous difficulties as a result of these terrorist acts; nobody can access their land to cultivate freely during the upcoming rainy season.
How can we overcome the hunger that has affected our nation? The military and the administration must be honest in their efforts and come up with quick solutions to these problems.
The public relations officer for the state police, ASP Mansir Hassan, requested that our reporter send a text message when he was contacted, but as of the time this story was filed, he had not replied.
