Bandits, on Friday night, attacked Unguwan Ma’aji, in the New Millennium City area of Chikun local government area of Kaduna State, shooting one person and whisking away six others to unknown destination.

The bandits, according to survivors of the attack, stormed the area around 9:10pm and attacked a house close to Chaha Eye Hospital, where they abducted a housewife and her house help.

Residents of the area said the bandits attacked another house on the same street, where they abducted four other persons.

An eyewitness said two other persons, who were enjoying fresh air outside their house, were also kidnapped, but they later escaped while they were being taken away through a stream at the back of the community.

Narrating how he escaped, the Imam of the area, said he was yet to return home after leading the Isha’i evening prayer usually observed around 8:00pm when the kidnappers arrived.

According to him, “I was picked up in front of the mosque, then they broke into two other houses and picked six persons. While they were breaking the second house, myself, another neighbour, and the women kidnapped from the first house were asked to lie down on the bare floorl

“After the bandits broke into the second house and picked four other people, we became eight, then they started leading us out of the community. On getting to the stream at the far end of the community, the two of us picked outside our house, escaped while they were attempting to make us cross the stream.

“The bandits were small boys. I think the eldest of them should not be more than 20-year-old,” the Islamic cleric narrated.

It was also gathered that the bandits shot one resident of the area who was just returning home in his car during the attack.

When our Correspondent visited the area on Saturday morning, the bullet-ridden Peugeot 406 car belonging to the victim, was still at the scene of the attack.

A resident of the area said, “the man was returning home in his car and the bandits made attempt to stop him, but he refused, so they sprayed his vehicle with bullets.”

Meanwhile, when contacted, the Kaduna State Police Command Public Relations Officer, DSP Muhammad Jalige, said he would contact the DPO in charge of Millennium City and thereafter brief journalists, which he was yet to do as at the time of filing this report.
