Bandits attack Kaduna community, kill 14

NO fewer than 14 villagers in Kaya, a village in Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State, have been killed by suspected bandits.

The incident happened around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday when the bandits, said to be on a revenge mission, stormed the small village killing the victims and setting vehicles ablaze.

A resident of the community, who simply identified himself as Suleiman, said nine people sustained injuries.

According to him, earlier on Friday, some vigilantes in the community killed some of the bandits who attacked a neighbouring village.

”The bandits attacked our village in revenge of the killings of their members by our vigilante after abducting and killing one person on 1 and 2 January. So they returned in the night on Saturday in large number on motorcycles and killed 14 people,” he said.

Confirming the killings, the Kaduna Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, in a statement, described the killings as counter killings.

He said the military and other security agencies have informed Kaduna State Government that several lives were lost in the attack

He gave the names of the victims as Hudu Shafiu, Madaro Madaki, Ibrahim Hamida, Ibrahim Mohammed Maidoya, Kabiru Maitakalmi, Ibrahim Kayawa.
