87 people were reportedly kidnapped by terrorists on Sunday night, in a fresh attack launched on the Kajuru-Station community in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
A member of the Kajuru-Station Youths, Harisu Dari, confirmed the incident on Monday in Kaduna.
Harisu said the terrorists also broke into some shops and stole food items and other valuables.
He said they invaded the village around 10 pm.
The attack came barely two days after 15 women and a man were abducted in the Dogon-Noma community of the same local government.
Kajuru and Chikun LGs had in the past two weeks become the hotbed of kidnapping, causing tension in the state.
Harisu explained that no contact has been established yet with the 87 locals abducted on Sunday night.
“As of the time I visited the community this morning, security operatives have not been drafted to help restore the confidence of the villagers.
“The villagers are traumatic with the sad development. The government needs to re-strategise in tackling these terrorists,” he said.
Terrorists had in two weeks kidnapped over 172 villagers.
