Bandits kill resident in Kaduna, abduct rector, lady

 

Bandits have reportedly abducted the Rector of the School of Statistics, Manchok, in the Kaura Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

A source said the hoodlums also killed a resident during the attack on Monday.

The source said, “The terrorists stormed the community at night and killed one person, while a lady was kidnapped, alongside the rector of the Federal School of Statistics.”

The attack occured barely three weeks after two ad hoc workers in charge of the distribution of mosquito nets were killed in the same council area.

The source said, the bandits stormed the area with sophisticated weapons and shot sporadically before abducting the duo.

He lamented that some communities in the council had been experiencing attacks and security operatives were not doing enough to arrest the situation.

Another source said the hoodlums had yet to contact family members of the victims.

The state police spokesman, DSP Mohammed Jalige, could not be reached for comments as of the time of filing this report.
