AMINA ANEBI, KADUNA
Bandits terrorising Kaduna State have killed a civilian Joint Task Force (JTF) Commander, a resident, and kidnapped several other persons including a medical doctor.
This came as the terrorists invaded Sabon Gero a community in Millennium City on Tuesday night.
It was learnt that the kidnapped persons were no fewer than 16 including the medical doctor and his family members.
The hoodlums, it was gathered, stormed the community around 10 pm on motorcycles and started shooting sporadically.
According to a source that pleaded for anonymity, two people lost their lives, sixteen were abducted, and six were rescued during the attack.
He said the bandits might have targeted the house of the medical doctor in the area as they went straight to his residence and abducted him and six members of his family.
“They stormed other houses and abducted nine other people,” the source added.
A member of the JTF who gave his name as Isa Usman confirmed that their commander had been killed by the bandits.
“We took his corpse to his wife and later buried him. We are just coming from the burial ground,” he said.
As of the time of filing the report, the police and the state government were yet to react to the development.
