The village head of the Gefe community of Kufana chiefdom in the Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State has been killed by bandits along with two other people.

Although police authorities in Kaduna State are yet to confirm the attack, a community leader Silas Musa told Channels television that the bandits invaded Gefe village at about midnight on Thursday.

He said they went straight to the residence of the village head Emmanuel Idan and another local and shot them to death. During the operation, fourteen locals were abducted by the bandits and taken to an unknown destination.

The community leader also said that the bandits attacked the Maro community in Kajuru local government where they shot a middle-aged man on both legs, who later died while being taken to the hospital for treatment.

In a similar vein, a journalist’s wife and three children were abducted by bandits at the keke community of Millennium City in the Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The incident occurred on Thursday night when the bandits invaded the community and started going to some houses to take some people away.

The husband of the victims Bashir Mohammed who is based in Kogi State told Channels Television that the family members were in Kaduna for a holiday and had just arrived on Thursday night before they were abducted a few hours later.

They were abducted from their relatives’ house at Millennium City alongside eight other members of the same family. (Channels TV)
