Armed bandits have attacked Idijiyi Unguwan Danladi village in Kallah District, Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, killing one person and abducting several others.
The incident occurred around 8:00 p.m. on October 19, according to a report shared by security analyst Zagazola Makama on Tuesday.
Makama said the attackers invaded the community, shooting sporadically before whisking away an unspecified number of residents.
However, troops of the Nigerian Army’s strike force responded swiftly, rescuing some of the victims who were later found near Agwallan Centre with gunshot wounds.
One of the victims, Agnes Zafaniya, 28, from Afogo Village, was confirmed dead by medical personnel and her remains released to her family for burial.
Two others — Augustine Madara, 31, and Zafaniya Alhaji, 42 — were among those rescued and are currently receiving treatment in hospital.
Security forces have since intensified operations to track down the kidnappers and secure the release of remaining victims, while investigations into the attack continue.
