Kaduna Abduction: Kidnappers Yet To Contact Family Of 6 Victims

The abductors of six members of an extended family kidnapped in Angwan Sarki Kaso community, Kakau Ward, Chikun local government area of Kaduna State, are yet to contact their families or demand ransom.

The secretary to the village head of Kaso, Jonah Baba, disclosed this in a follow-up interview with LEADERSHIP Weekend, saying the families had not received any communication from the abductors as of Thursday evening.

Baba said he visited the affected families on Thursday evening and was informed that the kidnappers had yet to establish contact with anyone.

He expressed concern over the situation, describing the community’s reaction to the incident as distressing, despite the recurring nature of kidnappings in the area.

He said residents were not comfortable with the persistent attacks, adding that the repeated incidents had continued to create fear and anxiety in the community.

LEADERSHIP Weekend reports that bandits attacked Angwan Sarki Kaso at about 11pm on Wednesday, surrounding at least four houses before abducting seven members of the same extended family.

The attackers reportedly opened fire during the operation, throwing residents into panic, while some residents escaped with injuries.

One of the seven abducted persons, a young man, was later released by the abductors, leaving six others in captivity.

Meanwhile, the Kaduna State Police Command had yet to officially react to the incident as of the time of filing this report.
