At least 12 persons, including 10 women were abducted when bandits attacked Kerawa village in Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State in the wee hours of Friday.
A youth leader in the community, Jamil Kerawa, confirmed the incident, saying the bandits operated unchallenged.
“They abducted 12 people two male and 10 women after killing one person. One other was injured and rushed to hospital in Zaria. We need help in Kerawa because only God is protecting us,” he said.
