Nigerian Supreme Council for Ecclesiastical Affairs (NSCEA) have lamented over increased attack in Kaduna community by bandits as about twenty-two residents were reportedly abducted on Wednesday 17 February 2022 by bandits that operated at Idon town in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
NSCEA also expressed fear that if nothing is done to stop the attacks, they might not be able to go to their farms during this year’s farming season.
“A source said four persons were injured in the attack which occurred in the early hours of the day. “We don’t know how they came but we just heard them shooting, breaking doors and windows. They came at about 12.30am early in the morning”, he said.
“Officials of the state and the police command are expected to confirm the attack but the Supervisory Councillor in charge of Administration, Finance and Health in the local government, Bala Jonathan, identified the victims.
He said, “During the attack, the following people were abducted: Justina Joseph, Mary Joseph, Rejoice Joseph, Stephen Joseph Samson Ladan, Christiana David, Boniface David, Helen Aminu, Mirabel Aminu, Precious Philemon, Nelson Philemon and Christian Philemon.
“Others are Yosi Gabriel, Stephen Clement, Jinkai Musa, Derrick Obadiah, Daniel David, Paul David, Istifanus Peter, Miracle Matthew, Jesse Charles and Favour Daniel” ALL CHRISTIANS as the report gets to the NewsChristian Network.
