Barely two days after suspected kidnappers shot dead three Greenfield University students in Kaduna, bandits on Sunday attacked Haske Baptist Church in Chikun Local Government Area, killed a medical doctor and abducted unspecified number of worshippers.
It was learnt that the bandits stormed the church at about 9am in Manini Tasha Village, Kuriga Ward in the area, where they carried out the operations.
One Dr. Zakariah Dogo Yaro, said to be working with the Kaduna State Ministry of Health, was shot dead by the bandits, who also abducted several members of the church.
An eyewitness, Yakubu Bala, said the bandits suddenly began to fire sporadic gunshots at the church members who ran for their dear lives.
Bala said, “Dr. Zakariah Dogo Yaro, a medical Doctor with the Kaduna State Ministry of Health was shot dead and unspecified number of people kidnapped while so many worshipers sustained varying degrees of injuries.
“As I am talking to you now, we have not seen some of our villagers who ran into the bushes while the shootings was going on.
“We don’t know what is happening that we are facing this kind of scenario in our peaceful communities.
“Most Villagers are already leaving their homes because of the constant attacks in so many Villages in Chikun Local Government.”
