Some bandits in the early hours of today, invaded the Ungwan Gimbiya community in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, killing two persons while over 50 members of the community were abducted during the attack.

According to a source, the terrorists were said to have stormed the community on Friday, selecting their targets.

According to a source who spoke to The Punch newspaper, the terrorists stormed the community on the day and attacked no fewer than 13 members of different families. The community is a few kilometres away from Kakau Daji where over 60 worshippers of Emmanuel Baptist Church were kidnapped in October 2021 during a church service. A resident, Gideon Jatau, who confirmed the attack, said the community had never had it so bad. “We have been experiencing pockets of kidnapping but this is the worst in the community,” Jatau told Daily Trust.

Two abductees were killed on the spot; two others were shot dead later while one was injured and hospitalised. 61 of the Worshippers are being held captive while the bandits were demanding 99million as ransom for their release.
