Armed men suspected of being bandits attacked the Zango village in Samaru, Zaria town, and kidnapped an undetermined number of residents.
The attackers entered the community with sophisticated weaponry on Friday morning, shooting erratically before whisking the victims away from the scene, according to DAILY POST.
The operation, which lasted over 30 minutes, took place about 1 a.m., when the majority of the people were deep sleeping.
When DAILY POST called the state’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Jalige, he stated he would look into it and get back to us.
Senator Shehu Sani, who served in the 8th National Assembly and represented Kaduna Central, corroborated the incident.
The former lawmaker advised institutions in the impacted area to be proactive in a post on his verified Twitter feed.
The tweet reads, “Early this morning, Bandits stormed Zango area Samaru, Zaria & kidnapped scores of people.
“Ahmadu Bello University main campus, College of Aviation and Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology located in the same area must take immediate preventive security steps to secure lives”.
