Some residents have been abducted in Anguwan Gimbiya area of Kaduna state.
A resident of the community who spoke with TheCable said the bandits, who came in large numbers, invaded the community around 11pm on Wednesday, with “sophisticated weapons”.
According to the resident, five houses were attacked during the invasion.

“We don’t know the number of people that were kidnapped yet, but many people were taken away.”
Hundreds of residents have taken to the streets to protest the abductions, blocking the road along Sabon Tasha area of the Kaduna metropolis.
