JUST-IN: Bandits Attack Kaduna Community, Destroy Police Armoured Vehicle

Bandits have stormed Kimbi community of Randagi Ward in Birnin Gwari local government area of Kaduna State, on Monday morning, and attacked an immovable armoured vehicle belonging to the Mobile Police Force.

A community leader in Kimbi village, Alh. Yahaya Kimbi, disclosed this an interview with journalists in Kaduna.

He said the incident when about eight bandits wielding AK47 rifles stormed Kimbi village.

“The attack happened on Monday morning around 1:00am and in the process, the hoodlums  burnt the vehicle to ashes.

“However, the bandits did not kill or kidnap anyone during the attack. I think their only target was to destroy the armoured vehicle,” he stated.

LEADERSHIP gathered that many villagers have fled Kimbi for fear of possible attack.

The community leader, however, said that security agents had visited the village to take stock of the damage incurred as a result of the attack, adding that many residents were going about normal daily activities.

Meanwhile, the Kaduna State Police Command and the State government were yet to react to the attack as at press time.

It would be recalled that Birnin-Gwari local government area of the State has been in the news in recent times following activities of bandits and Ansaru terrorist group, who have dominated many villages and rendered over 50,000 people in the area homeless.
